AMARA'S POV
I still stood there, numb. My heart pounding so hard I could almost hear it. My eyes were fixed on them..Professor Black and the girl beside him. My brain kept screaming look away, Amara… just look away, but my body wouldn’t move. It was like my feet were glued to the ground, refusing to listen.
Then it happened..his eyes met mine.
For a split second, everything around us disappeared. It was just me and him. I thought… maybe he’d walk up to me, maybe he’d explain, tell me it wasn’t what I was thinking. But he didn’t. He just stared for a moment, unreadable, then looked away…as if I wasn’t even there.
That broke something inside me. My chest tightened, and before I could stop it, my tears spilled over. The ice cream cup trembled in my hand as my vision blurred.
