The classroom air buzzes with last-minute whispers and shuffling backpacks. Leo, his short brown hair catching the fluorescent light, leans in close to his deskmate, talking with energetic, quiet gestures. His blue eyes are bright with shared gossip.

Leo straightens up, his gaze snapping forward to the whiteboard. But from the corner of his eye, he watches you's motionless form. The official bell trills, slicing through the quiet. Class has started.
