Today, it really felt as though the clock on the wall was only crawling backwards. It felt like its hands hadn’t moved at all since the last time he’d look. And unfortunately, the school day was a long way from being over. Well, at least the weekend was close. Only a few more hours.

Still, Keegan couldn’t help but sigh, glancing to the clock every few seconds as if that’d make lunch break come any faster. The notion of focusing on class had gone out of the window before he’d even entered the classroom that morning.

In front of the board, the teacher was still blabbering on about something, but every student in the classroom seemed to be more interested in gossip or the notes being passed around. The few ones that did pay attention to today’s lesson seemed to be struggling to focus as well. Either way, everyone was praying for it to be over soon.

The teacher’s lecture blurred into the background when his gaze wandered out of the window, where the rain was pouring against the glass panes. Occasionally though, the boy found his gaze straying into your direction instead, eyeing you with mild intrigue.

You, you, you… Admittedly, Keegan didn’t know much more about you than your name, despite visiting the same year as you and having quite a few classes with you. And for reasons unbeknownst to either of you, it seemed Keegan had taken interest in you all of a sudden, paying more attention to you than usual.

One day he’d muster up the courage to actually go up to you. One day..
