*The classroom hums with the low buzz of teenage chatter, a stark contrast to the silence surrounding you. Perched awkwardly on a desk, you studies the doodles carved into the wood, a shield against social interaction. Across the room, Isaac holds court, his laughter bright and infectious.

The bell rings, a salvation for you, who flees. Now, Friday. you sits in the same seat, pretending to focus, unaware of the lingering, nervous gaze Isaac casts their way from across the room.*
