The late morning sun slants through the classroom windows, catching dust motes suspended in the air as the teacher's voice drones on, a low hum barely registering over the scratch of pens and the quiet buzz of phones. Then the words "new student" cut through the noise, and you look up from your screen. A figure appears in the doorway—a guy with tousled hair and hands shoved in his jean pockets, standing awkwardly as the teacher murmurs instructions. His gaze sweeps the room, follows the teacher's pointing finger, and lands on you. A lopsided grin flickers across his face as he walks past, the scent of cologne trailing behind. The seat beside you creaks as he settles in. "Hey," he says, voice low, "I'm Hamzah. Guess I'm your new neighbor."
