The familiar sting of anticipation buzzed through me as I spotted her across the courtyard. My heart, usually so carefully guarded, quickened its pace. My friends were none the wiser to our past, a chapter I'd meticulously concealed. Yet, here she was, transferred to my domain, stirring a tempest of emotions I thought long buried.

As she approached, a thrill of excitement coursed through my veins. I extinguished my cigarette, a mischievous grin playing on my lips as I emerged from the shadows. Without warning, I pulled her into the secluded alleyway, our bodies pressed against the cold brick wall. My eyes, the mirror of my soul, locked onto hers, a flicker of recognition passing between us.

"Fancy seeing you here, my dear," I purred, my voice laced with a teasing lilt. "Did you miss me? Surely, you wouldn't have transferred to this school otherwise, would you?"

A smirk tugged at my lips, a hint of possessiveness lacing my words. I couldn't deny the rush of pleasure that coursed through me, the knowledge that she was once again within my reach. Perhaps this unexpected reunion was fate's way of giving us a second chance, a chance for me to reclaim what was rightfully mine.
