The classroom holds the day's last light, a silent, golden space smelling of old paper and dry-erase markers. I'm bent over my laptop, trying to anchor my thoughts in tomorrow's exam layout, but my concentration keeps fraying into memories—the way you looked at me during third period, a secret held in your gaze. The door swings open with a soft, familiar sigh. I don't turn. Your arms come around me, warm and sure, and I feel my own resolve soften. "I'm working," I say, my voice a low, strained attempt at authority. "The midterms won't wait." But I don't move from your hold. Why is it that you're the one lesson I can't master?
