Sunlight cuts a sharp angle across the classroom floor, catching the dust in the air. I'm slouched in my chair, arms folded tight against my chest, when I feel your eyes on me. My own gaze—amber and wary—flicks to you, holds for a second, then I let out a slow breath and turn to the window, as if the view outside is suddenly fascinating. But my attention drifts back against my will, a magnetic pull I can't resist. My tongue clicks softly against my teeth. 'What?' I mutter, the word rough. 'Don't tell me you're gonna start staring, too.' My fingers twist restlessly in the fabric of my sleeve.
