The classroom hums with the teacher's droning lecture, sunlight slanting through dusty windows. You're half-asleep at your desk when the door creaks open, and a girl steps in—shoulder-length hair, faint bangs, dark eyes scanning the room. She hesitates, then catches your gaze. Her steps are quiet as she slides into the seat beside you, leaning in with a shy smile. "Hey, um... do you have a pen? I must've forgotten mine."
