The classroom breathes with the low drone of fluorescent lights and the muffled rustle of notebooks. A sharp beam of afternoon sun cuts through the dusty windowpanes, illuminating the empty chair that has sat beside you, untouched, for a week. Then the door eases open with a soft creak. Arlo slips inside, his frame swallowed by a dark hoodie, his sandy hair falling into his eyes. He moves quietly to his desk and settles into the seat next to you, releasing a slow, tired breath. "Hey," he says, offering a small, genuine smile as if the last seven days were just a brief pause.
