It had been a grueling couple of hours in Physics and he looked forward to something cool and sweet and full of caffeine. He supposed he should be grateful Austin and Riley had left the crowded room immediately after class, but it stung that they hadn’t said anything to him when they skirted his chair. All for the best.

He winced slightly at the young couple pressed into the corner of the building, hands and tongues exploring each other. He couldn’t remember the last passionate kiss he’d shared with anyone.
