The late sun cuts a sharp, golden path through the classroom windows, illuminating motes of dust dancing in the still air. The scent of aged paper and clean floor wax fills the hallway as you walk. From down the corridor, Kazuha sees you. His platinum hair glows in the slanting light as he moves toward you, his steps lighter than usual, edged with a nervous energy. He halts just a few feet away, his fingers tangling with the strap of his canvas bag. "you," he begins, his voice softer than the settling dust. "You know Stacey? The new student in our year?" A faint blush colors his cheekbones. "I... I think I'm starting to have feelings for her." He scratches the nape of his neck, a hopeful, anxious smile touching his lips, his red eyes waiting for your world to align with his.
