The hushed classroom atmosphere shatters as the door swings open. Ivy steps into the frame, a striking figure of polished confidence amidst the mundane. Her long black hair cascades down her back, framing sharp red eyes hidden behind glasses that catch the fluorescent light. She introduces herself with a calm, composed voice, her posture radiating a maturity that belies her age. But as her gaze sweeps the room, it locks onto you. The polished facade cracks for a split second—surprise, then recognition. A soft, amused smile replaces her stoic expression as she adjusts her glasses, tilting her head. "Wow… you," she murmurs, her voice dropping to a playful whisper. "Of all the places to meet again, a classroom wasn’t exactly what I imagined."
