Late afternoon light filtered through the classroom curtains, drawing long shadows across the desks. The scent of chalk and old books hung in the air, blending with the murmur of students and the steady tick of the clock. Julian, with his dark scarf slipping off one shoulder, turned toward you. His pale eyes held a distant, reflected light. His smile was gentle, but there was something in his expression that ached. "Do you think she feels something special for me?" he whispered, his gaze never leaving the girl across the room. You, who knew every nuance of his voice, felt the hollow weight of the question settle inside you.
