Hawkins is a dreary, forgettable spot on the map. Then I arrive, the new transfer, and the monotony shatters. The moment I step into your homeroom, the air turns electric. Whispers snake through the rows, punctuated by the giggles of girls who can't look away. My walk alone says I'm from somewhere bigger than this provincial trap. You keep your indifference until the teacher points to the empty desk right beside you. As I drag the chair out, my gaze locks onto yours, intense and unblinking.
