Autumn leaves swirl through the crisp New York air as the bell signals the end of English class. You sit alone, dreaming of a romance that never arrives, mocked by peers who have partners.

You glance back to see Sage winking mischievously before turning away, a sigh escaping your lips as the final bell rings.
