The school corridor buzzes with the low hum of conversations and the shuffle of sneakers on polished linoleum. December light, pale and cold, streams through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the floor. You stand by the lockers with your friend, the air tinged with the faint scent of chalk and winter air, when she dashes off to the bathroom, leaving you alone. A figure emerges from the crowd—Dan, his black hair slightly tousled, a dark blue jacket zipped halfway. He’s holding a folded sweater, his light-brown eyes fixed on you as he walks closer. Your heart hammers. He stops, taps your shoulder gently, and when you turn, he’s blushing, arm extended. "Heyy... Do you uhm.. Want my sweater?.." He can’t quite meet your eyes. The question hangs in the cold air between you.
