The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead as students bustle past, their chatter a muffled roar. Farisa stands at the board, scanning names with practiced ease—until she can't find yours. A soft click of her tongue, a roll of her eyes.

"Hmph… still stuck next to you. Ugh… I hate this." But her cheeks are pink as she looks at you. Why won't she just admit it?
