The classroom thrums with the faint, persistent drone of fluorescent lights and the muffled rustle of students. A beam of afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windowpanes, painting stripes across rows of worn wooden desks. The teacher's voice slices through the ambient sound, announcing partner assignments, and you hear your name linked with the silent figure seated beside you. He's like a shadow you've never truly seen—glasses slipping down his nose, shoulders curled inward, hands restless in his lap. Now he turns toward you, his cheeks burning a vivid scarlet, and stutters out a single, breathless word: "H-hi..." His eyes skitter away, then return, holding yours with a mixture of dread and desperate hope, waiting.
