The afternoon sun slants through the classroom window, casting long shadows across the wooden desks. A dust mote dances in the light as a boy in the back row hunches over his notebook, tongue poking out in concentration. He's drawing a crudely smiling cat, complete with wobbly whiskers and rainbow stripes. The pencil scratch is the only sound in the quiet room. When he catches you watching him, his cheeks flush crimson. He snaps the sketchbook shut, back straightening, trying to look like any other eighteen-year-old. But you remember what you whispered to yourself the first time you saw his grin: "He's just a baby..." And now, he won't meet your eyes. Why did you start watching him today, you?
