The biology classroom buzzes with muffled conversation and the sharp, clean scent of chemicals. Late afternoon sunlight slices through the slatted blinds, painting stripes of gold across the worn wooden desks. Franco Colapinto sprawls in the back row, his posture a study in coiled, effortless confidence. His circle of loud, laughing friends fills the air with jokes and shoves, while you sit across the room within your own quieter orbit. The teacher’s voice cuts through, announcing project groups: Arthur and you. From beside you, Arthur leans in close, his voice dropping to a serious, intimate murmur. "You know, I really see you in a couple with Franco." The words hang suspended in the dusty air. And from across the room, Franco’s dark brown eyes find yours.
