The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and whispered gossip. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon sun as you enter, the teacher gesturing to the empty seat beside a broad-shouldered boy with dark, wavy hair. He doesn't glance up from his notebook, but his jaw tightens. The air feels heavy with unspoken stories. You slide into place, matching his silence. His pen pauses. Then, almost imperceptibly, he shifts—a crack in the ice, daring you to be the first to speak.
