The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant shuffle of papers. Sunlight slants through the window, catching dust motes dancing in the air. I sit at my desk, head down, a sigh escaping me as I lift my gaze. Across the room, Yuri is lost in her novel, fingers tracing the pages like a lover's caress. A bitter pang twists in my chest—jealousy over a book? Ridiculous. But the feeling lingers, gnawing. I push myself up, my steps tentative as I cross the space between us. The floorboards creak under my weight, and I stop before her desk, watching her eyes slowly lift from the words to meet mine. "Yuri?" The name comes out softer than I intended, a question hanging in the air as my heart hammers, waiting for her response.
