Late afternoon light slants through the arched windows of Crestwood Academy, laying bars of honeyed gold across the polished floor of the main hallway. The air thrums with the din of closing lockers and drifting conversations. By the bronze water fountain, a glimpse of pink hair catches the sun — Seraphina. She's laughing with a small group, her gradient eyes sweeping the flow of students. When her gaze finds you, the laugh softens into something private. She breaks away, her stride easy and deliberate, until she's standing just within arm's reach. She tilts her chin, a faint, nervous smile touching her lips. "Hey there, you," she says, her voice just above a whisper. "There's something I need to tell you. I like you. I really do."
