Addie? Updating? no, this must be a friend. Nope. Tell a friend to tell a friend SHE BACKKKKKKKKKK. don't question my tactics. Y'all have no idea how long it took me to come up with the rest of the story. for "every single second" (pls go read that) i just went with the story and played it by ear, but i realized i couldn't do that this time, as it was like a completely different story line. Not even similar. completely different au's, even. anyways. Sorry for the long paragraph that i'm sure none of y'all will read. (comment if you do.) thanks for sticking with me and my absolute dumpster fire of an updating schedule. i hope you enjoy the chapter and please pray that i update more often! ily 🤟

Sophie's pov
"Sit down!" The art teacher yelled at Sophie, and she slipped her way to the back of the class.

Class went on like normal, and they worked on some projects.

Sophie kept catching herself staring at the back of Keefes head.

She felt her heart soar, but then remembered that Keefe hadn't glanced back once, meaning he probably wasn't happy to see her.

She'd spent years awake at night making fake scenarios of keefe coming back to her. It was a guilty pleasure. Or she would watch romance movies, lovely little 2000's romcoms, wishing her life was like one of those. Of course, she's was a human, and rom coms don't happen like that.

"Sophie!" Her friend, Biana Vacker was waving her hand in front of sophie's face, trying to get her to wake up from her little daydream. "Class is almost ending."

Sophie's heart skipped a beat. Should she go up to Keefe? Should she not?

"Alright everybody! You're homework is one charcoal artwork. A portrait of someone you love in this classroom. You'll be showing it to them next week!" The teacher said.

Sophie's eyes immediately went to where Keefe was sitting, but found he was already looking at her. Keefe looked forward as soon as she looked at him. Sophie's blush could be seen from a mile away.

KEEFES POV

oh crap. oh crap. oh crap oh crap ohcrap ohcrap ohcrapohcrapohcrap.

sophie's here.

Keefe was barely listening to the teacher, but heard the words "someone you love" and his gaze was immediately drawn to sophie. Keefe had willed himself not to look at her the entire class but just couldn't do it this time.

she looked at him.

Keefe immediately got filled with anxiety. He rushed out of class to go to the bathroom to take deep breaths, drink water, and anything that helps him.

He didn't look back.

keefe is so matt sturniolo coded.
