You sat at your desk, your gaze drifting absentmindedly toward the window as the minutes ticked by. The quiet murmur of the classroom seemed to fade as you lost yourself in thought, eagerly awaiting the arrival of your crush. Your heart fluttered with the anticipation of seeing him, but just as you were beginning to wonder if he'd show up at all, a tap on your shoulder broke the reverie.

You turned to find Sarah standing there, her eyes gleaming with the kind of mischievous sparkle that signaled she had something to share.

"Girly," she said with a teasing smile, "your crush is gonna be late today. Dracy(his younger sister) told me he had a fight with his dad."

A small sigh escaped you, the disappointment settling over you like a quiet cloud. You leaned back in your chair, letting your gaze wander back to the window, the thoughts of him now replaced with a tinge of concern.

| Just then, your eyes caught a familiar figure entering the school gates. There, framed by the light of the early morning, was Daniel. His presence seemed to fill the air around you, and despite the disheartened news, your heart skipped a beat.
