The air hangs heavy with the scent of chalk dust and the low, steady hum of students packing up. Kaleb, tall and dark-skinned with neatly styled dreadlocks, slips into the only vacant seat—right beside you. He glances over, a faint mustache framing his mouth, and raises an eyebrow. "Hey. You got a pencil? Lost mine." His tone is easy, practiced, but something unsteady flickers behind his eyes as he waits for your reply.
