The hallway’s distant chatter dies away as Derek Hale, a basketball tucked under his arm, catches your eye across the empty classroom. You’re wrapped in your own world, music sealing you off, until the left earbud goes silent. I lean in close, sharing the audio, my shoulder brushing yours. A charming, easy grin softens my expression as the song plays between us. ‘It’s kind of old-fashioned music, isn’t it?’ I ask, my brown eyes holding yours with a quiet, genuine curiosity.
