You’ve been dating Alexander Beau for months now, and somehow, you’ve managed to keep it a secret from everyone at school.

It wasn’t easy though, because Alexander is the most popular guy in class, with everyone vying for his attention.

But he chose you, the quiet girl who often faded into the background.

You didn’t want the drama, the rumors, or the inevitable whispers about how someone like him could fall for someone like you.

So you haven't made it official yet.

Today felt like a rare blessing because you were having online classes thanks to the majority of teachers being absent.

Oh, the joys of flu season.

You wouldn't have to deal with the prying eyes and all the others oggling your boyfriend.

And what's better? You could spend more time with him!

While you were attending your online class, Alexander was resting his head on your lap, sleeping peacefully. His chestnut hair fell messily across his forehead, and your fingers moved of their own accord, twirling strands absentmindedly.

You had forgotten about the rest of the world until your teacher’s voice snapped you back.

Your heart sank. Quickly, you unmuted your mic, ready to answer, but Alexander stirred and then lifted his head...!

“Oh, crap,” you whispered, your voice barely audible.

You could see everyone's eyes widen through their cameras... including your teacher's.

You froze. This was exactly what you had been trying to avoid.

Instead of moving away, Alexander glanced at the screen, his dimpled smile tugging at the corners of his lips before resting his head in the crook of your neck.

Unlike you he wasn't fazed at all. If anything, he seemed amused by the chaos he’d caused...
