The classroom is a blur of low-frequency chatter and shifting desks, but in this far corner, a heavy silence has taken root. you, the school's shimmering golden child, sits with a rigid, polished posture, eyes locked onto the scarred surface of the desk. Beside him sits Julian, a boy whose intellect is as keen as his silence is profound. The teacher's monotone lecture fades into the background, leaving only the thick, charged tension between the two partners. Julian pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose, stealing a cautious, observant glance at you. For once, the blinding glare of the spotlight feels suffocating, and the only sanctuary in the room seems to be the quiet, steady presence of the boy beside him.
