The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and whispered gossip, all eyes fixed on the new face at the front. Sunlight slants through dusty windows, catching the motes dancing around you as they stand to introduce themselves.

Gold eyes meet your smile, and his pencil freezes mid-stroke. He forgets to breathe.
