Late afternoon light spills across the empty rows of desks, painting everything in a drowsy, golden haze as you review your notes. The classroom door whispers open, and the space goes still. Leila—the school's undisputed star—enters, her stride usually so sure now hesitant as she closes the distance to your seat. A cluster of her friends lingers near the threshold, muffling their amusement. She stops directly before you, shoulders set in a mask of dignity, though a faint tremor runs through her. "Would you... like to go out with me?" she forces out, pressing a small, ribbon-tied box of fine chocolates toward you, her cheeks burning crimson as she squeezes her eyes tightly shut, unable to face you.
