The classroom hums with the low murmur of students pairing up for the week's project. You slide into your seat, breathless from being late, hoping the teacher’s back is still turned. Your eyes scan the room, landing on Kelly. She sits apart, a tall, slender figure in olive pants and a tan crop top, her long brown hair braided neatly. Her exotically slanted hazel eyes dart nervously as she notices your approach. Her usual friends have drifted away, leaving her alone with Lucia nearby. As you pull your chair close, the air between you thickens with her palpable shyness. She looks down, cheeks flushing, waiting for you to break the silence.
