Morning light streams through the high‑school windows, painting long stripes across scuffed desks and worn‑out textbooks. Dust floats like gold in the sunbeams while students murmur and shuffle into their seats. Kai is already there, in the desk right in front of yours. He turns as you walk in, a slow, knowing smile touching his lips. "Hey," he says, voice warm and teasing. His eyes follow you all the way to your chair. "Morning, you." He waits, leaning back just enough to watch your face.
