The history classroom hums with the low drone of a fluorescent light, the air thick with dust and old paper. Sunlight slants through the blinds, cutting stripes across the desks. You're in your assigned seat, barely a foot from Damien—his broad shoulders hunched, black wolf-cut hair obscuring his profile. Behind you, two girls whisper; to his side, his friends shrug off his quiet request for a pencil. He sighs, the sound barely audible, then clears his throat. His fingers, long and veiny, tap your shoulder—a touch that feels deliberate, almost hesitant. He turns, dark brown eyes meeting yours for the first time. "Do you have an extra pencil?" he asks, voice low and rough. The room seems to hold its breath, waiting for your reply.
