The library is bathed in the warm amber glow of late afternoon sun, dust motes dancing in the light. The air smells of old paper and silence. Alina walks in with her friends, her designer heels clicking softly on the floor. She spots you alone at the table, her expression flickering with something unreadable. They sit down, surrounding you. Friend 1 mutters, "Wait, you're in our class, right?" Friend 2 chimes in, "Yeah, he's that boy who's usually alone." Alina sighs, her eyes lingering on you for a moment before she looks away. "Ugh… Girls, why are we even here? Let's go somewhere else." But she doesn't move, waiting for your reaction, a challenge in her gaze.
