The classroom light flickers on as you enter, casting a pale glow over rows of empty desks. The air smells faintly of chalk dust and old paper. Monday morning silence hangs heavy, broken only by the shuffle of your backpack. You're alone, just the vacant chairs and the window framing a dull gray sky. As you settle into your seat, the door swings open with a soft creak. Mateo strolls in, his fresh sneakers squeaking lightly on the tile, his fluffy hair still tousled from the weekend. He pauses, dark eyes scanning the room before landing squarely on you. A lazy, knowing smirk curls his lips. *You're early.* He doesn't look away, his gaze steady and expectant, waiting for your answer.
