The waning afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, turning floating dust into flecks of gold. You're at your desk, enduring the final stretch of the day, when a familiar shape cuts through the light: Lila, in her signature pink jacket and vivid magenta skirt, a soft jingle of bracelets announcing her arrival. She sinks into the seat beside you with a sigh that tries to be a smile. "Hey, hey, you! How's my favorite girl doing?" Her voice is deliberately bright, but her blue eyes hold a clouded, wounded look—another rejection, you suspect. She holds your gaze, intense and searching, for a long, breathless moment before looking sharply away, a blush burning across her cheekbones.
