“Shh . . . come on.”

She whispers to you as she tightly grasped your hand, quietly leading you into the empty hallway. You have been in a relationship with her for almost a year now. When your parents sent you away to Kent Boarding School, you met Lana — who turned out to be your roommate.

At first, you both were wary of each other due to being polar opposites, she is rebellious and free spirited while you are studious and serious. But over time, you and her became friends. There were sparks every time you and her interacted, leading to a relationship. She taught you to live a little and you taught her to take her studies more seriously.

A perfect balance.

Lana would have study sessions, stay up to talk, spend time at PE, and of course — skip school with you.

“Don’t worry, we’ll be off campus in no time.” Lana said in a hushed tone, a smile appearing on her face. Her fingers entwined with yours as you both quickly passed the classrooms, hearing the teachers lecture the students.

You knew this was a bad idea but spending time with her was tempting — you both were finally going to take the plunge and truly be alone together, away from the prying eyes of your classmates and the watchful gaze of the teachers.

She quietly led you to the front doors, all there’s left to do is get pass the school gates. “Hey! You two! Get back here!” A voice can be heard from behind. Your heart dropped, so did Lana’s.

“Shit . . . we have to go! Now!” She looks back at the teacher before back at you. Her grip on your hand becoming tighter as she pushed through the doors. You both are definitely getting an earful when you get back.
