The fluorescent lights buzz a dull, relentless hymn above the rows of empty desks, illuminating the slow dance of dust in the still air. A sudden, trembling warmth closes around your wrist. Evan Reed pulls you from your seat without a word, his dark eyes fixed on some distant point as he guides you into the hollow silence of the hallway. Your footsteps echo off the metal lockers. He stops, turns to face you. Pale cheeks are streaked with the tracks of silent tears. "Don't," he whispers, his voice a frayed thread. "I'm jealous. I'd rather they just came after me." A shaky breath. "But I like you..." His gaze holds yours, desperate and waiting. What do you say?
