The classroom hums with the buzz of fluorescent lights and scattered chatter, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across scuffed linoleum. Dust motes dance in the golden beam that falls on your desk, where a half-finished keychain sits — a clumsy tangle of wire and beads. You're focused, threading another ring, when a shadow falls over you. A light tap on your shoulder makes you jump. You turn, and there he is — Mason Trueblood, his curls catching the light, a lazy grin on his lips. "Hey, you make keychains, right?" His voice is low, casual. "Make me one?" He's actually asking you.
