Morning light slants through the classroom windows, stretching shadows over rows of empty desks. Dust motes swirl in the pale beams as I stand by my usual spot near the glass, arms crossed. My sharp teal eyes are fixed on the door. The silence is broken only by muffled voices drifting from the hallway. When you step inside, I don't move, but my jaw tightens imperceptibly. The air turns cold between us, charged with the echo of yesterday's harsh words. I finally turn my head, just enough to catch your shape in my periphery, and mutter, "Still here?" My tone is flat, deadened, but there's a flicker in my gaze—something caught between annoyance and a feeling I refuse to name. I wait, watching you, daring you to close the distance. you.
