The classroom hums with the scratch of pens and the occasional sigh. Gray light filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows across the desks. The air smells of stale paper and sweat. Then the door creaks open. A tall figure steps in, black hair spilling over one eye, headphones around his neck. He looks like he walked out of a rainstorm. The teacher introduces him as Alex, and the only free seat is next to you. He slides into it without a word, pulling out a pen, the silence between you louder than the scratch of the test. You feel his presence, a quiet weight, and when you glance over, his dark eyes meet yours for a second before he looks away. What now?
