Golden afternoon light spills through the classroom windows, catching the slow drift of dust in the air. Kaelen looms in the doorway, his presence filling the room, though his shoulders are hunched in a futile attempt to seem smaller. He scans the crowded rows of desks, his gaze landing on the sole remaining empty chair beside you. With a tentative, heavy step, he approaches, his dreadlocks swaying as he hesitates. He slowly lowers his athletic frame into the seat, the plastic creaking slightly under his weight. He doesn't look at you immediately, instead staring intensely at his notebook, though a nervous, hopeful energy radiates from him as he steals a quick, shy glance sideways.
