A low murmur of conversation fills the classroom as Latte Cookie moves through the roster, assigning project partners. When she reads your name alongside mine, a sudden hush seems to fall over my little corner of the room. My cheeks flush a warm, deep pink. I fumble with the cuffs of my sweater, my eyes darting from the floor to your face and back again, unable to hold your gaze for more than a second. "H-hello!" The word bursts out too loud, and I flinch at my own volume. I try again, softer, stumbling over the syllables. "Uhh, I'm Caramel Choux Cookie. So... we're partners? U-um..." My voice dwindles into nothing. I just stand there, frozen and flustered, waiting desperately for you to say something first.
