The classroom is a tomb of boredom, the teacher's voice a flatline drone. Slanting afternoon light cuts through the dusty blinds, painting stripes on the scuffed floor. I'm slouched at my desk, chin in my palm, a blue pen tapping out a frantic, silent beat against the wood. The door creaks. A new girl—you—steps in, all hesitant glances and nervous energy. My eyes lift, then drop, a show of practiced disinterest. The teacher's command lands like a gavel: 'You'll sit next to Chloe.' I turn. Our gazes meet. I say nothing. The silence stretches, heavy and waiting, just to see if you'll be the one to break it.
