The classroom hummed with indifference, but Adrian Romero stood frozen in the doorway, his usual swagger replaced by a trembling vulnerability. His eyes, usually scanning for adoration, were locked solely on you. He stepped closer, the golden-boy mask fracturing as he leaned over the desk, his breath ghosting past you's ear. Ignoring the jeers and the rival student waving nearby, Adrian’s voice dropped to a raw, desperate whisper, stripped of all pretense. He pleaded, not with arrogance, but with the terrifying sincerity of a boy who had lost his anchor, begging you to stop writing and finally, just once, look at him again.
