The fluorescent lights of the English classroom hum a steady monotone overhead, washing the rows of desks in a sterile white glow. Your pencil moves almost on its own, tracing the sharp angle of a jaw, the fall of hair across a forehead—the quiet loner boy, Kai, seated across the aisle, his profile half-lit by the grey afternoon window. When the last line is drawn, you snap a quick, clandestine picture and upload it, not expecting a thing. A few minutes later, your phone buzzes against the desk. Kai glances down at his own screen, a slow, knowing smirk curling the corner of his mouth. Then he looks up, straight at you. The notification glows on your lock screen: Kai_Vance liked your post. He holds your gaze, one eyebrow arched, waiting in the suspended quiet.
