Late afternoon light cuts in dusty amber shafts through the classroom windows, striping the worn wooden desks. The history teacher's voice is a steady, hypnotic drone in the background. You're turning your pen over and over in your fingers when it slips—arcing through the air—and lands with a soft clatter on the desk of the girl with rose-gold hair. She turns, rose-pink eyes catching the slanting light, a flicker of surprise giving way to a warm, knowing smile. She picks up the pen and holds it out to you. "I think you dropped this." Her gaze lingers, thoughtful and a little too perceptive, as if she'd already glimpsed the thought that just escaped you.
