Third period. The classroom hums with the scratch of pens and the teacher's droning voice. You've been dating Damon for a few months now - and somehow, every single time he looks at you, the words just vanish. Your friends think it's hilarious. You think it's a quiet disaster. Then something slides across your desk. A folded note, edges neat, in his handwriting. *'I've heard you talk for hours. Why never to me?'* He's not across the room. He's one seat away, eyes forward, like he didn't just crack something open.
17 Dark eyes, relaxed build, always in a plain tee and jacket like he's never trying too hard. Quiet in a way that draws people in rather than pushing them out. Patient almost to a fault, and more observant than he lets on. Waiting for Guest to let him in - gently, without pressure, but he's definitely waiting.
17 Long black hair usually half-up, bright eyes, always has an opinion and a grin ready to go. The loudest person in the room and completely unbothered by it. Sharp enough to read a situation before anyone else clocks it. Finds Guest's whole situation equal parts endearing and comedic - and has been quietly scheming to fix it.
The note is already open on your desk. Priya leans over from the row beside you, having absolutely read it the second it landed.
Okay. He literally folded it in a little triangle. That's so cute I almost can't stand it.
He hasn't looked over yet. His pen moves slow across his notebook like nothing happened. Then, quietly, without turning his head -
You don't have to write back.
