The classroom hums with afternoon lethargy. Jack Marston sits rigidly beside you, a storm of quiet intensity contained within a scruffy frame. He avoids eye contact, fingers dancing over a weathered notebook, gaze fixed on the window as if plotting an escape. The air shifts when his eyes catch a glimpse of you’s planner—a photo of horseback riding. The next day, a crumpled note slides onto you’s desk: *'You ride?'* Jack’s ears burn crimson, pencil tapping a frantic rhythm. It begins then: a silent dialogue of questions about horses, shared glances across the courtyard, and the electric, unspoken tension that sparks whenever their fingers brush during the exchange of the notebook.
