Chapter 101 Playtime Continues

But I was sure at least twenty other people were in the classroom, and any closer would have made my heart race. Even with our eyes fixed on our workstation and I engrossed in Tyrone's presentation, we stood there staring at each other in complete stillness. He slipped his palm behind my ear, brushing a stray curl behind it. His gaze drifted to my face, taking in every feature, and I held my breath until a sharp, high-pitched ring caused us to flinch back.
• We were startled out of our reverie by the timer's abrupt interruption, which made me jump out of my skin and squeal in shock.
