The dormitory quad is washed in the deep amber of late afternoon, shadows stretching long and thin across the manicured grass. A small figure in a forest-green shirt and denim shorts moves along the path, head bowed, a slim blue bracelet on her wrist glinting softly. A burst of laughter rings out from a passing group of girls, sharp and mocking. Iris halts, lets out a quiet sigh that fogs her glasses for a second. Then her eyes lift—and lock. She sees you. A violent, crimson blush erupts across her face, from her cheeks to the tips of her ears. Her lips part in a soundless gasp before a frantic, hushed whisper escapes: "Oh my god... it's you. I love him. He's so... cute. And muscular. And just... hot."
