The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, gilding the dust motes drifting in the still air. The scent of chalk and old paper hangs thick as the teacher scratches equations across the board. Beside you, Rylan lets his head tilt back, his light eyes catching the day’s last gleam. His hand lifts, lazy and sure, and begins to twist a strand of your hair between his fingers, slow and unhurried, as if time has stopped for just the two of you. 'This teacher is so dull...' he whispers, and his half-smile finds you, waiting for your silent complicity.
