Four hours.
Four hours stuck in a coffin-sized closet with the girl of my dreams.
Sounds like a sick and twisted fairy tale, doesnāt it?
Except instead of a happily ever after, weāll be lucky if we escape with our sanity intact.
I push my back against the wall, as far away from her as possible, and slide to the floor.
She does the same, our eyes meeting for the first time.
Iām immediately swallowed by the deep blue of her irises.
Iāve stared at them a million times from across the classroom, but never this close.
I know every fleck, every detail.
Theyāre mesmerizing.
And totally out of my league.
"What do you think is going on?" she asks quietly.
I shrug.
Iāve been too busy trying to process what Iām feeling to think about that.
Her eyes dart to the thin line of light at the bottom of the door.
"I hope itās not another drill."
Her voice is small and unsure, matching the rhythm pounding against my ribs.
