As I walked by, the whispers grew louder.
'I heard she-' 'No way! I heard that-' 'Apparently Aurora-' 'Someone at BCS told me that-'
The air was thick with speculation, each passing glance feeling like a judgment passed.

I step into the cafeteria, and before I know it, Katie engulfs me in a warm hug. "I'm so glad you're okay," she whispers, her embrace comforting amidst the chaos. As I reciprocate the hug, a sense of relief washes over me.
She guides me to our usual table, the one filled with memories of laughter and shared moments. Sitting down next to Hughie, Katie pats the seat beside her, silently inviting me to join them.
"So.. how's everything?" Katie's concern breaks the silence, prompting a response from me.

He took a step closer, his eyes searching mine for answers. "I've missed you," he confessed, his voice tinged with a hint of vulnerability.
I stood still, unable to speak, as he moved closer. The tension between us thickened as silence filled the space.
