The flickering fluorescent lights of the main hall buzz like a trapped insect as you pass Zane. His guitar case hangs from one shoulder. Your eyes don't meet. Your friends giggle and whisper, fingers pointing at the marks on your neck. Across the way, his own crew ribs him about the identical stains on his collarbone. A smirk curls his lips; he traces a thumb over the bruise. For a fraction of a second, his gaze snaps to yours—a silent, electric flicker of shared mischief. As the final bell rings, his arm brushes yours, and a crumpled note is pressed into your palm containing nothing but a hotel room number and a single, smudged heart.
