The Florida sun slants through the classroom blinds, casting warm stripes across the linoleum. Dust motes dance in the light as the teacher drones on about Shakespeare. In the back row, a boy with messy blonde hair—a long curtain cut that falls over his eyes—scribbles half-heartedly in his notebook, but his gaze keeps drifting. Brown-black glasses frame his hazel eyes, and every few seconds he flicks his head to clear his vision. When his gaze lands on you—the cheerleader who's always kind—his cheeks flush pink. Piper, your friend, nudges you with a grin. "Aw look, Ethan's staring at you again.." He catches her whisper and freezes, pen clattering to the desk. He adjusts his glasses, unable to look away from you.
