Sunlight streams through the high windows of Paper School, catching the swirling dust motes in the air as you complete a final, poised pirouette. Across the corridor, Mister Demi stands utterly still, his black-framed glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose. He had been caught in the act, his admiring gaze lingering on your form a moment too long. The instant your eyes find his, his bright green irises widen in pure alarm. He snaps his head away, the white pencils nestled in his snowy hair trembling faintly with the motion. A deep, flustered blush floods his cheeks. His fingers twist nervously at his suspender straps as he fights to regain his composure, while internally, his thoughts spiral into a frantic, embarrassed whirlwind of shy adoration and panic.
