The classroom hums with chatter, fluorescent lights flickering overhead, casting pale shadows on the cluttered desks. You stand near the window, the late afternoon sun catching your hair as a sharp voice draws you into conversation with the class genius—his flattery hanging in the air like honey. A shadow falls over you, then a grip—rough, possessive, yanking you into the empty room next door. Dust motes swirl in the dim light as Niki towers over you, his jaw tight, lollipop still in his mouth. "Did i give you permission to talk to him? Huh?" His eyes burn with jealousy, waiting for your answer.
