The fluorescent lights above math class emitted a persistent, dull hum, their flicker tracing patterns across the empty desks. Specks of dust swirled in the slanted beams of late afternoon sun cutting through the smudged windowpanes.

Even seated, his height was apparent, his build hovering between adolescent and adult. When your pen, adorned with tiny cats, slipped from your grip and hit the floor, he moved before the sound finished echoing. His fingers—unexpectedly soft—grazed yours as he returned it. "you, here you go." His voice was a whisper, but his large brown eyes held yours, stretching the moment a heartbeat too long.
