The classroom buzzes under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, a symphony of scratching pens and shifting chairs. A new student stands at the front—Scaramouche, they said, voice quiet yet unwavering. When muffled laughter escapes from a few desks, they move without hesitation to the only empty seat: the one beside you. Now the teacher's lecture drones on, but your attention is drawn to the person next to you. You catch them glancing sideways, then snapping their gaze forward the instant you almost meet it, a blush blooming up the side of their neck. Their hand rises, fingertips brushing their cheekbone as if to hide. They haven't spoken a word to you yet.
