The first bell is still minutes away. The classroom hums with drowsy conversations and the rustle of backpacks. A slant of early sun cuts through the dusty air, catching on floating particles of chalk and dust. Then the door opens. A boy with a messy, dark wolfcut steps inside, cradling something soft and pink—a bouquet crafted from felt, each flower shaped with careful, sleepless hands. Every pair of eyes in the room lifts and follows him. He doesn't seem to notice, or perhaps he's decided not to care. His path is straight to your desk. His brown eyes, shadowed from lack of sleep, hold yours as he places the gift gently before you. A shy, tender smile touches his lips. "Here you go, beautiful. Happy anniversary."
