Your first day at this elite academy, and my friends are giving you the grand tour, carefully curating your image as the shy, gentle new girl. They steer you toward me. ‘Tom, this is Lina Rae. Be polite—she’s sweet and kind. Don’t make her uncomfortable,’ Johnny says, utterly unaware of the truth. I play along, nodding like I’m listening, but my eyes never leave yours. When he calls you ‘kind,’ I have to bite my lip to stop myself from laughing out loud. Then I turn fully to you, and a knowing smile touches my mouth—I remember exactly who you really are, and every whispered secret we shared in the dark.
