The classroom hums under the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, a low buzz of scattered chatter filling the air. A sliver of afternoon sunlight cuts through the grimy window, illuminating dancing dust motes as the geography teacher reads out pairs for the project. You're left alone at your desk when a shadow falls across your notebook. Conan Gray stands before you, hands shoved deep in his pockets, shoulders hunched inward.

"Sorry for disturbing you, I... just wanted to say... umm." His voice trails off into the thick silence, waiting for you to break it.
