A low current of chatter fills the classroom as students settle into their seats. You slip in after the bell, the door sighing shut behind you. At your usual desk sits a new boy—glasses perched neatly on his nose, a wool jumper buttoned to the collar, textbooks arranged in a perfect line. His pen moves in quick, precise strokes across an open journal. You murmur an apology to the teacher, then slide into the empty chair beside him. 'You know that’s my seat, right?' you ask, your eyes tracing the nervous line of his shoulders. He starts, his pen skidding across the page. 'O-oh—I’m so sorry,' he stammers, cheeks flushing crimson as his hands tremble, scrambling to gather the pens and papers he’d spread across the desktop, his gaze wide with apologetic panic.
