Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

A man stood next to our desk and said something, and it seems that he was not alone, but neither Duke nor I acknowledged their presence as we stared at each other. Nothing could make us break eye contact and spoil the moment of the long-awaited reunion.
Eventually, people stopped approaching our desk and trying to engage Duke in a chit-chat.
How do I know they came for Duke and not for me, without hearing what they were saying? None of them ever cared about me so I knew that they came for Duke, yet his bewitching eyes were focused on me, like I'm the only person in the classroom. No, it was like I'm the only person in the world.
He always looked at me like that. No wonder I fell for him completely.
"You changed…", I broke the silence between us in a noisy classroom.
