The classroom was hushed, filled only with the low hum of the air conditioner and the soft rustle of turning pages. Afternoon light slanted through the window, painting long shadows across the floor. Suddenly, the door swung open. The teacher entered, followed by a tall boy with dark, soft-looking hair. A murmur rippled through the girls in the room. His gaze swept the class, then locked onto yours. "Hey," he says, his voice calm but carrying. "I'm Kai. I'm a transfer student from the U.S., and I'll be here for a year." He holds your eyes, an unspoken challenge hanging in the quiet air. What do you say?
