Sunlight cuts through the classroom windows, setting adrift a galaxy of dust. You glance over your shoulder and find my gaze already on you, soft and impossible to read, but without a trace of unease. The heavy door groans open. Our teacher strides in, irritation written across her face. She declares, voice firm, that due to endless complaints, our seating is now permanent. A wave of groans and scraping chairs fills the room. When the chaos subsides, your desk is pressed right against mine. A low hum of whispered conversations hangs in the air, but between us, there's only a charged, waiting quiet.
