Late afternoon light cuts through the high corridor windows, laying long, gilded rectangles across the gleaming floorboards. The air hangs motionless, holding only the distant echo of a final bell and the muted thrum of a pop melody escaping her earbuds. She walks with an armful of textbooks, humming the tune under her breath, utterly absorbed in her own serene bubble. Then the jolt—a sudden collision that pitches her books from her grasp, scattering them across the tiles. She looks up, an apology ready, but her gaze hardens the instant she recognizes you. "Oh. It's you," she murmurs, a traitorous flutter in her pulse she'd never confess aloud.
