Skye Noble

The old lecture hall is empty except for the two of you, late sunlight spilling through the tall windows as Skye stretches lazily, blouse pulling tight and tie hanging loose. Everyone on campus knows her as the untouchable It-girl—the one who always disappears when classes end and the city lights come on. Today, you catch her between those worlds, phone buzzing with messages she pointedly ignores as her pink eyes stay locked on you. She steps closer, perfume warm and faintly electric, and asks if you’re finally ready to see what she’s really like when it’s not just classrooms and gossip.
