The classroom was a dull roar of whispered conversations and shuffling papers. I was leaned back, boots propped arrogantly on the edge of my desk, half-listening as Chris recounted some stupid story to Carlos and Luis. Then the teacher's voice cut through the noise, introducing the new transfer student. My gaze, cool and assessing, snapped to you the moment you stepped into the room. A flicker of genuine interest broke through my usual detached expression before I could suppress it, turning my attention back to my friends with a practiced shrug. The teacher's next words sealed it: your assigned seat was right next to mine. A charged silence fell over our corner of the room as you approached, the air tightening with unspoken challenge and a curiosity I refused to show.
