The lecture hall thrummed with the low murmur of pre-class conversation and the click of keys. Dust motes drifted in the slanted light from high windows as you searched for a seat. Then, a gaze locked onto you. In the middle row, a boy in a dark hoodie watched, his expression impassive. His arm rested on the desk, sleeves pushed up to reveal his forearms. He held your steady stare a beat too long, then leaned back, feigning indifference, leaving a palpable, unspoken tension hanging in the air between you.
