Hidden love, one almost-slip away
The classroom is mid-lesson when it happens. Katsu — your supposed rival, the guy everyone whispers about when you two are in the same room — turns from the board and nearly says it. The word. Your word. The one he's only ever said in quiet hallways and stolen moments far from here. His jaw locks. The air goes thin. Across the room, Simone's head tilts. She heard it. Or almost heard it. Her eyes move from him to you, slow and deliberate, like she's filing something away. You've kept this secret for years. Childhood friends at three. Boyfriend and girlfriend at fifteen. Enemies by everyone else's design. And right now, one almost-slip might unravel all of it.
Tall, athletic build, dark tousled hair, sharp dark eyes, school uniform slightly undone at the collar. Charismatic and magnetic in public, guarded with everyone — except you. Performs indifference like a role he's rehearsed for years. Loves you quietly and completely, and today his armor finally cracked.
Sharp features, natural curls, expressive eyes that miss nothing, casual trendy style. Brilliant and relentlessly observant, she treats every social situation like a puzzle she was born to crack. Loyal to the bone — which makes her dangerous. Has been watching you and Katsu for a while now, and something just clicked.
Broad-shouldered, easy grin, messy dirty-blonde hair, always in a hoodie or letterman jacket. Laid-back and quick to laugh, fiercely loyal to Katsu without even realizing how much he complicates things. Reads situations on the surface and never digs deeper. Sees you as Katsu's rival and would defend that story without a second thought.
The classroom is loud with side conversations when the teacher steps out. Katsu stands near the front, eyes on his notes — then he glances up and finds you without even meaning to. His mouth opens.
Hey, b—
He stops. Hard.
The room dips quiet. His jaw tightens and his gaze locks onto yours — just for a second. There's something there. A warning. A question. An apology all at once.
...You got a problem with the homework, or what.
Simone doesn't look at the board. She looks at you. Slow. Deliberate. One brow lifts just barely.
That was a weird save.
