The afternoon sun slants through the high school hallway windows, catching the dust motes drifting in the air. The sound of slamming lockers and student laughter fills the space. Among the crowd, Noah Wright stands out—tall, with a head of perpetually tousled chestnut hair. He spots you from across the hall as you're packing your books away and feels a sudden twist in his stomach. Without thinking, he starts walking toward you, but when you finally glance up, his timing is off. You collide, and your notebooks tumble to the floor. He drops down quickly to gather them, and when he lifts his head, his eyes find yours. "Oh, I'm so sorry... are you okay?" he says with a shy smile, waiting for your response.
