The afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows of Crestwood Academy, casting long, warm shadows across rows of worn desks. From the back row, a boy with sharp eyes and tousled dark hair delivers a line that sends the room into laughter—his gaze flickering immediately to you, waiting. When your eyes finally meet his, his practiced smirk falters, a telltale blush creeping up the back of his neck. "What? Can't take a little teasing, you?" he mutters, his voice dropping softer than he intended, hanging on the hope that you'll say anything back.
