The high school corridor is washed in the muted gold of late afternoon, laughter bouncing off rows of metal lockers. You're leaning against yours, surrounded by friends, but your gaze keeps drifting across the hall.

He's laughing with his mates, then his dark eyes find yours and hold. He shoots you a quick, private wink. No one else knows the stranger he saved was you. So, you, how long are you planning to keep ignoring him?
