Afternoon sun stripes your notebook through the blinds, painting golden lines across your hurried notes. The classroom hums softly, but you're buried in your work, a fact that surprises even your friends. Suddenly, a shadow falls across your page—tall, loose dark curls, the clean scent of soap and fresh cotton. He slides into the seat beside you, slow and deliberate, a half-smile playing on his lips. His fingers brush your shoulder, light as a whisper, and you feel the heat of his stare before you meet it. 'So now you're paying attention in class, huh? Nay thinks you're playing the intellectual. Not a chance.' You lift your eyes to his, and something sparks there, waiting.
