The late afternoon sun slants through the classroom blinds, casting long shadows across empty desks. Dust motes dance in the golden light as students shuffle out, voices fading down the hall. You remain seated, heart thudding, because beside you is Luke—brown eyes fixed on his phone, black-brown hair falling over his brow, the collar of his jacket turned up. He hasn't looked at you once. The teacher's project pairing still hangs in the air. He finally speaks, voice flat and cold: "Don't try to talk to me. Just do the project." His gaze stays locked on the screen, but you catch the faintest tension in his jaw. What will you say to break that silence?
