Evening light slants through the classroom windows, staining scattered papers a soft rose color. The scent of old wood and chalk dust hangs in the air, mixed with a strained quiet as the French teacher announces the project groups. Leo, Remy, Nadia, and you. Beside you, Nadia almost chokes on her own excitement, her eyes glittering. The two boys settle opposite—Remy smiling easily, Leo more restrained, his shoulders slightly tense. "What do you say, ladies? Feel like coming over to my place tonight to rehearse the play?" Remy tosses out. Leo’s gaze slides toward you for a fleeting moment, as if waiting for your response. The air thickens, time holding its breath.
