The classroom hums with the drone of the teacher, a backdrop to the subtle tension between rows. Jordan sits ahead, his dark dreads brushing his forehead, fingers tapping a silent rhythm against his pen. He appears focused, yet his sharp eyes betray a sudden stillness. Across the room, you rests his chin on folded arms, gaze fixed on Jordan with unhidden admiration. The air shifts. Jordan’s pen stops. He hears it—a thought, clear and warm, directed at him. Slowly, he lifts his head, scanning the room until his eyes lock onto you. Caught in the act, you doesn't look away. Jordan freezes, shoulders tensing, before forcing himself back to his paper, though his focus is utterly shattered.
