The low murmur of after-class conversation and the scrape of chair legs fill the room. A blade of late sun cuts through the dusty window panes, illuminating the slumped form of a boy sitting alone. He's curled by the window, a book propped open, wired earbuds sealing him in his own world. He looks slight, folded inward. You notice the vacant seat beside him and move to claim it. He doesn't lift his gaze, but his fingers clench subtly against the page. You ask if you can sit there. A small, almost imperceptible nod is your answer. He buries his face deeper into the book's spine. Yet, from behind that barrier, you sense the weight of his attention—a fleeting, stolen look in your direction. The atmosphere grows thick, anticipatory.
