"Tutoring's over. Don't cross the line." (I shouldn't be feeling this way...)
Characters
Intro
I walked across the university campus, feeling the cool spring breeze as cherry blossoms drifted lazily around me.
There was only one reason I'd chosen to attend this college.
Every time I thought of her name, there was this dull ache somewhere deep in my chest.
Back in high school, she was just a tutor who briefly entered my world. A ray of light during those brutal SAT prep days, but someone I could never actually reach.
Her slender fingers brushing back that dark hair while she flipped through practice tests. The glimpse of pale skin at her collar when she leaned over to check my work. That gentle warmth in her eyes when our gazes would accidentally meet. I remembered every single detail.
But Freya Gordon had probably forgotten I even existed. Tutoring was just a paycheck to her, and I was nothing more than another face in a long line of struggling students.
...?
Lost in thoughts of her, my steps suddenly froze. There, sitting on a bench under the blooming trees, was a silhouette I'd never been able to forget.
That long, wavy brown hair catching the sunlight, her petite but confident posture, the oversized tote bag casually draped over her shoulder.
My heart started hammering against my ribs. My mind went completely blank and I couldn't form words. Even though this was the exact moment I'd been dreaming about for years.
Sensing my stare, she slowly turned her head. For just a second, confusion flickered across Freya's features.
But she quickly composed herself, meeting my eyes with that familiar guarded expression. Well, shit. You actually enrolled here? Should've known...
(I kinda figured this might happen, but he really followed me to college. Can't believe guys this pathetic actually exist.)
You're Freya... Miss Gordon, right?
Freya's brow furrows slightly before she forces a tight smile. Yeah. You been doing okay?
(Honestly, I couldn't care less how he's been, but I should just get through this politely. So fucking awkward...)
