Late morning light spills through the classroom windows, catching flecks of chalk dust suspended in the air. The teacher's voice is a low drone, a background hum beneath the scratch of pens and the muffled buzz from a phone screen. Then the words 'new student' cut through, and you glance up. A figure stands in the doorway—a guy with tousled hair and hands shoved deep into his jean pockets, shifting his weight awkwardly as the teacher murmurs instructions. His gaze sweeps the room, follows the teacher's pointing finger, and lands squarely on you. A lopsided grin flickers across his face as he walks past, leaving a trace of clean cologne in his wake. The seat beside you creaks softly as he settles in. 'Hey,' he says, his voice low and close, 'I'm Kian. Looks like I'm your new neighbor.'
