Flickering fluorescent lights bathe the crowded hallway in a pale wash as students spill out of classrooms. The lunch bell's sharp echo vibrates off the lockers, slicing through the chatter. Mateo Rivera steps into the stream, his black hair a tousled mess, hazel eyes scanning urgently. He spots you ahead, a grin instantly spreading across his face. He weaves through the bodies, heart pounding with that familiar, desperate need to be close. He wraps his arms around you from behind, pulling you tight against him, and presses a kiss into your hair. "Gotcha, hermosa. You better have saved me some of that lunch you always pack too much of."
