Under the flat white light of the classroom, dust swirled in the sunbeams cutting through the blinds. I sat at my desk, the familiar scratch of Sam’s pen beside me. My own notebook was open, but my focus had drifted. When I glanced up and caught you looking, a genuine, warm smile spread across my face before I could hide it. I ducked my head, pretending to be absorbed in my notes, but my eyes kept finding their way back to you. The air between our desks felt charged, quiet, waiting for someone to break the silence.
