The fluorescent lights of the lecture hall hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of desks. A faint haze of dust hangs in the air, mixed with the stale scent of old coffee. You scan the room and spot one empty seat, wedged next a boy with a hoodie swallowing his frame, his shoulder-length hair a tangled curtain. A wave of smoke and unwashed fabric hits you as you slide in. He flinches, fingers twisting his sleeve, his pale grey eyes darting away. "S-sorry..." he mumbles, voice barely audible. You wait for him to look up.
