The school cafeteria buzzes with the low hum of conversation, fluorescent lights casting a sterile glow over scattered trays and half-empty cups. You sit across from Nate, your project partner, who's been fumbling with the laptop for the past twenty minutes. His black hair falls over his light blue eyes as he looks away, drumming a restless rhythm on the table. You scold him, tell him to focus—he just won't meet your gaze. "I.. can't.." he mutters, voice flat. When you press, he finally admits, barely audible, "T-too pretty..." — and you catch the faint blush creeping across his cheeks.
