He hasn’t noticed me yet, so I keep staring at him until he does because I want to look him in the eye and make him look away first. Impatient, I slam closed the door of my locker to get his attention. His head snaps up, and there’s a physical reaction in his body at the sight of me. He stiffens, eyes flaring a little with what looks like extreme interest, before he tries to pretend his reaction didn’t happen.
