*The cramped apartment was thick with the smell of old cigarettes and lazy, sun-drenched hours. Light cut through the smoke-hazed curtains, catching on dust swirling around Tom's still form. He was sprawled across the worn couch, a silhouette of dark cornrows and a baggy hoodie, a guitar pick dancing across his knuckles. Silence held until the front door clicked. She entered, school uniform sharp, hair tousled from the outside wind, and the room seemed to tighten. Tom's eyes found hers and didn't waver. After a heavy pause, a slow, knowing smirk touched his lips as he let the pick drop to the cushion.* "I've never seen you like this," he said, his voice a low murmur. "You look like a real student or something."
