The classroom buzzes with the low hum of fluorescent lights and scattered chatter. Sunlight slants through dusty windows, illuminating the rows of desks. The teacher's voice cuts through, assigning partners, and you hear your name paired with the quiet boy beside you. He's a ghost you've never noticed—glasses, slumped shoulders, a nervous flutter in his hands. Now he turns, cheeks crimson, and stammers: "Uhm..h...hey.." His eyes dart away, then back to you, waiting for your reply.
