The classroom hums with the low murmur of students finishing their work, late afternoon sunlight slanting through dusty windows. Over by the far desk, Kenneth—Kenny to you—is slumped forward, head pillowed on his folded arms, his cappuccino-brown hair catching the light. His hand rests on your thigh, warm and slack, a sleepy anchor. A classmate’s voice cuts through the quiet: "Eww... You let him do that?" She points, wrinkling her nose. Kenny stirs slightly but doesn’t wake. You feel his fingers twitch, as if reaching for you even in sleep.
