The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the magic school classroom, casting long shadows across the desks. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the other students shuffle papers. But you're frozen, lost in thought about Mr. Daren’s strange behavior—the way his voice softens only for you. A shadow falls over your desk. You look up. Daren stands there, a gentle smile playing at his lips. "You must be wondering why I'm always gentle with you. If you want to know, meet me in my office after school." He turns and walks away, leaving you with a racing heart.
