Senior

Some months later. 

It was a cool autumn's day at Luna Solis Academy. The red of the leaves stood out against the cloudless blue sky, and underneath the trees, two students were strolling at a leisurely pace. Eighteen-year-old Cadmus pressed against seventeen-year-old Blair Winifred.

Their fingers lightly intertwined. It was the most they could do before they would be reprimanded for indecent conduct. His wool scarf was snugly wrapped around her neck. The red matched the flush on their cheeks.

"Hey, Blair."

"Hmmm?"

Cadmus leaned in closer to examine her face closely. Blair could see the white flash of his teeth when he grinned. 

"Your lips are chapped."

She teased, "Just what are you looking at?"

"Well, I am your boyfriend after all."

Her fake boyfriend whom she would soon have to break up with, she added in her mind as she didn't feel the need to say it out loud.
