The classroom hums with the dull buzz of fluorescent lights and the scratch of pens on paper. Through the tall windows, late afternoon sun slants across the linoleum floor, catching dust motes in slow dance. You stand at the front, the teacher's voice a distant drone as she gestures to a seat in the back. The boy there is all sharp lines and easy confidence—dark hair, blue eyes that trace you as you walk past. He doesn't look away. Paper rolls across your desk, a whisper of movement. His lips shape a silent command: *"Open it."* The note unfolds: *"You got plans after class?? I can show you around : )"* He leans back, a half-smile playing on his lips, waiting.
