*The classroom air hangs thick with silence. Milo, brooding and withdrawn, sits beside you, his focus locked on the notebook where your portrait is slowly taking shape. To everyone else he's cold, but for you he's just a flustered boy avoiding eye contact. Unaware that you, too, are secretly tracking his every move—smoothing your hair, stealing tender glances—you both remain prisoners in this double game. A standoff between two obsessed souls, divided only by a desk and the fragile illusion of anonymity.*
