Then two.Lily’s gaze flickered towards Ethan’s empty seat.Finally, she made up her mind.She raised her hand. “Miss Monroe, would you like to try? ” Ms. Peller asked gently.“No, ma’am. I wanted to ask if I may I go to the bathroom?”The maths teacher let out a sigh as she waved a dismissive hand. “Be quick. Would anyone like to try?”Lily closed her notebook and slipped out of the class. But instead of heading to the restroom, she turned in the direction of the principal’s office, her pace increasing with each step.The hallway was quiet as she passed by. Classes were in full progress, leaving the hallways empty.Just as she turned the corner—Slap.The sharp sound echoed through the hallway.“...Do you feel better now?”Lily’s breath caught.It was Ethan’s voice.Lily’s heart pounded with wor

Chapter: chapter 14The morning was crisp as Ethan, Lily, Chloe, and Miles walked through the school gates together. They made their way through the morning crowd, rushing to class before the bell rang.Lily and Chloe were deep in conversation about a newly released edition of their favorite magazine, their voices animated as they flipped through the pages.“I still think the spring collection was better,” Chloe said, pointing at a page. “Red and green isn’t a summer color. It’s like going out as a Christmas tree. ”“Come on. It’s not that bad. If you pair it with yellow boots instead of brown, it would be better. ”Miles, walking beside them, glanced over at the magazine with mild interest. “Hmm, she really does look like a Christmas tree,” he mused.“You both don’t know style.” Lily pouted. “See,” Chloe smirked. “He gets it, truly the soul of an artist.”Ethan walked slightly behind them with his hands in his pockets, mostly listening, though he threw in an occasional remark whenever they asked his op

Chapter: Chapter 13Ethan and Lily sat on the floor playing scrabble. Sun streamed in through the window and wide balcony, casting a warm glow over the wooden floor.It was Saturday.After an entire week of Miles being almost everywhere Lily went, Ethan could finally spend time with Lily— just the two of them. No extra person. No interruptions.He leaned back against the bedpost, watching as Lily chewed her lips, deep in thought as her eyes drifted between her rack and the board, planning her next move. She looked really cute.Ethan smirked. “We should have played with a timer. In an official game, you’d have lost 10 points.” “I was strategizing my ultimate move.”Ethan raised a brow. Lily went to work and placed all seven tiles on the board. “Bingo.” She yelled with a treiumphant grin. “Fifty extra points for me.”She picked up the pen to record her score.His gaze drifted to the pen Lily was using.A sleek, pink fountain pen with a silver tip.Miles had given it to her.It was well in line with her t

Chapter: Chapter 12Lunch had never felt this long.Ethan sat, silently chewing his food as Lily and Miles continued talking opposite him. Every now and then, Lily would call his name, trying to include him in the conversation as she recounted stories from their childhood to Miles. He responded with one-word answers.He aggressively sipped his orange drink, but it was tasteless when it entered his mouth.His grip on the carton tightened slightly as Miles leaned in to brush something off Lily’s hair.The sound of the bell put their conversation to an end. Finally.They packed up their bags and headed to class.Ethan let out a breath of relief and fell into step behind Lily as they walked back to their class.But just as he entered the class someone bumped into him–Miles.Ethan’s hands clenched into fists beside him.Why was he here?He had assumed Miles was just another one of Lily’s art classmates— someone she’d only hang out with during class and sometimes during lunch. But now he was also here. In t

Chapter: Chapter 11Lily sprinted down the stairs, her school bag half open and her tie half knotted. She nearly tripped over her dog as Ivy ran to greet her, wagging her tail excitedly as she jumped.“Not now, Ivy, I’m late for school. We’ll play in the afternoon.” She said , crouching down to gave Ivy a quick rub on the head, she picked up her toy and threw it up the stairs, Ivy whined, but ran up after it. “Don’t forget your lunch!” her mom called from the dining table.“Yes, ma’am,” Lily yelled back, picking her phone from the table and zipping her bag.“And Ethan’s.” Lily groaned. “I know, Mom, I know.”She walked into the kitchen to pick up the already packed lunch boxes sitting on the counter.“What did you make?” she asked Mrs. Harper, who was cutting cookie dough.“Chicken Pitas,” She answered without looking up. “Hurry along now.” “Yay, you’re the best,” Lily said, rushing outside.When she got out, she spotted Ethan waiting by the gate, his hands in his pocket.“Your lunch.” She said as sh

Chapter: Chapter 10Ethan sat at his desk, staring at a bird flying in circles around a tree outside.The teacher’s voice droned on in the background, but he couldn’t focus.His fingers tightened around his pen, his textbook open to the topic of the day.He had barely slept last night.Over the weekend he had gone to the hospital. He saw his mom. The doctor said she just needed rest, but Ethan had seen how pale she looked, and how weak her voice sounded compared to before.But she seemed to be getting better.She had said she was feeling better.She even ate two plates of brown rice.He didn’t tell her what he saw during the week, who his father had brought home. He didn’t know how to tell her or if he even should.A nudge against his arm made him snap out of his thoughts.Lily leaned in close, whispering, “You’re zoning out again.”Ethan blinked, turning to face her. “Huh.”Lily frowned, her eyes scanning his face. Ethan had been acting weird these past few days. Always staring off into space and he had
