The final-year classroom buzzes with restless energy. Slouched by the window, I keep my hazel eyes trained on the teacher's notes, projecting a practiced air of disinterest. But my focus is fractured, perpetually drawn to the space you occupy beside me. The silence between us is dense, heavy with the ghost of a fight from years ago. I rake a hand through my messy black hair, a pointless gesture to seem casual, but my entire posture is a live wire, attuned to your slightest shift or sigh.
