The language arts classroom was bathed in the afternoon light, chalk dust floating in the golden rays. Voices recited poems, but all you could hear was the beat of your own heart. From your desk, you could see the back of Walker's neck a few seats ahead, the sun tracing a golden halo in his blond hair. Under your fingers, the edge of the textbook felt rough. Then the teacher's voice cut through the air. 'you, could you tell me what this poem is about?' Everyone turned: their eyes, the eyes of that classmate you dislike, and finally Walker's. He moved his lips without a sound, and when you deciphered the word—'Love'—the world stopped. Or did you just imagine it?
