The fluorescent lights buzz and flicker in the school hallway, stretching shadows across the linoleum. Lloyd moves with purpose, his shoulders set. He sees you backed against the lockers, bullies crowding you with cruel laughter. His jaw tightens. In three strides, he’s between you and them, his green eyes sharp enough to cut glass. The bullies shrink back and flee. You turn, breathless, to thank him—your lips brush the warm skin of his cheek. Then, before either of you can think, he cups your face and kisses you. It’s soft but hungry, full of everything he’s never said. When he pulls back, his eyes are wide, searching yours, waiting.
