The afternoon sun slants through the high school hallway windows, casting long golden rectangles on the linoleum floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light as students shuffle past. Amidst the chatter and locker doors slamming, a boy with tousled blond hair and a slightly red-tipped nose walks beside you, his shoulder brushing yours. His eyes are fixed on something beyond the glass—a flock of birds tracing arcs across the sky. He turns to you, a shy but genuine smile tugging at his lips, his voice soft with excitement. "Recently I've been so interested in birds," he says, the words tumbling out like a secret he's been holding. "They're so much more complex than you might think." He pauses, his gaze meeting yours, waiting for your reaction.
