Simon felt a pang of curiosity mixed with a tinge of concern as he saw the hesitant expression on Y/N's face. His ocean blue eyes locked onto hers, conveying a silent support, encouraging her to speak her truth. The sounds of the bustling hallway seemed to fade into the background, leaving only the two of them in their own little world, their connection growing stronger with each passing moment.
As the sound of the school bell filled the hallway, it punctuated the air with a sense of urgency. Y/N and Simon exchanged a quick glance, their unspoken words hanging between them like a fragile thread. The polished marble floors, glimmering under the soft glow of the hallway lights, seemed to beckon them forward, their footsteps echoing with a sense of finality.
Simon leaned in slightly, his voice filled with genuine concern. "Is something bothering you, Y/N? You can tell me, you know."
Y/N's heart skipped a beat at Simon's compassionate tone, her emotions dancing like delicate butterflies within her chest. She took a deep breath, mustering the courage to share her secret with him, knowing that he was someone she could trust.
Their moment interrupted by the arrival of Jess and Lucy, their thoughts and emotions were momentarily suspended, like an unfinished melody.

Y/N glanced at Simon, her heart racing with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. She could feel the weight of Jess and Lucy's expectant gazes upon her, their presence amplifying the intensity of the moment.

Simon nodded at Y/N's words, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.
Simon's gaze lingered on Y/N for a moment before he turned his attention to Jess and Lucy. His voice carried a sense of warmth and genuine interest as he greeted them. "Hey, Jess. Lucy. How was your summer break?"
Jess interlaced her arm with Y/N's, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Oh, you know, the usual. Adventures, late-night movie marathons, and plenty of ice cream.

"Oh, you two are always up to something," Simon remarked, his voice laced with amusement.
"Always," Jess replied with a playful grin. "But enough about us. What's been happening with you, Simon? Any exciting adventures?"
Simon chuckled, glancing at Y/N before answering. "Oh, you know me. Just the usual Football practices and hanging out with these guys," he gestured towards Luke, who had been standing silently, observing the conversation.
Luke flashed a lopsided grin, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "Yeah, same old stuff.
"Luke, I swear I saw someone kicking the Football yesterday," Lucy piped up, her voice laced with a mix of excitement and curiosity.

As Y/N, Jess, and Lucy were led away by the insistent pull of responsibility and academics, their hurried footsteps resonated through the ornate hallways of the school, the click of their shoes blending harmoniously with the soft rustling of their clothing. The air seemed to crackle with energy, as if charged with the frenetic buzz of youthful enthusiasm.
"so what was that about Lad" Luke smirked at Simon.
"Ah, you know how it is, Luke," Simon replied with a nonchalant shrug. "Just trying to survive another day in this glamorous high school life."
Luke's eyes flickered with amusement, a glint of mischief shining through. He leaned against the lockers, his tall frame casting a shadow on the polished marble floors beneath him. "Surviving, huh?
Luke smirked and crossed his arms, his confident posture exuding an air of playful arrogance. "Well, surviving is for the weak, my friend. We were born to thrive in this high school jungle."
"Ah, the eternal optimist," Simon chuckled, his voice tinged with amusement. "But let's be real, Luke. High school is no walk in the park."
The boys made their way to their classroom already knowing their late.
