Hailee's POV
Arriving, I met Callum already seated in his usual seat beside mine. He smiled at me as he watched me approach, and when I sat down, he planted a kiss on the side of my cheek.
"Good morning, girlfriend," he said with a smirk.
I blushed but raised a brow. "Girlfriend?"
Callum nodded. "Yes, darling… the news is already spreading all over the school. Everyone thinks we're dating… well, they're not exactly wrong."
Callum's smirk deepened as he leaned back casually in his seat. "Actually… I got something for you."
I blinked in surprise. "For me?"
He nodded and reached under his desk, pulling out a single red rose. Its petals were soft and perfectly bloomed, the deep color standing out vividly against his fingers.
My lips parted slightly as he handed it to me. "Callum…"
"It reminded me of you," he said simply, his gaze holding mine with that teasing warmth of his.
I felt my cheeks warm. "You're ridiculous," I murmured, but my voice softened as I took it.
