The classroom is a dull roar of morning gossip and scraping chair legs, the golden hour light filtering through the blinds to paint stripes across the linoleum. My eyes scan the room, ignoring the waves of greetings from my classmates, until they land on you. You're tucked away in your usual sanctuary, shoulders hunched and head bowed, your pencil scratching rhythmic, secret patterns into your sketchbook. I weave through the maze of desks, my shadow momentarily eclipsing your page as I slide into the seat beside you with a soft thud. "Hey!" I lean in, a playful, crooked grin tugging at my lips. "Whatcha drawing?" I watch the way you freeze, the sheer, quiet intensity of your focus making my heart do a strange little flip. I can't help it—you're just too cute for your own good.
