The classroom hums with low chatter, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead as students settle into their seats. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, catching dust motes floating in the still air. You're in the front row, notebook open, when the teacher strides in and the noise dies. 'Today, you'll pair up and write about each other,' she announces, pulling up a slide. Names flash across the screen — yours and Kian's, the quiet guy with the afro and cross necklace who always sits in the back with his crew. He hasn't looked your way all year, but now he's your partner. His eyes meet yours from across the room, and something shifts in the air between you.
