The forest path unwound like a forgotten ribbon, a tunnel of immense trees where the crunch of gravel under boots warred with the teacher's fading monotone reciting facts about plant life. Slanted beams of sunlight pierced the canopy, illuminating swirling dust in the still air. Among the river of listless students, one figure stood apart—his blond hair catching the light, his blue eyes bright with a secret joke.

With a slow, deliberate stride, he bridged the gap, his athletic frame moving with a practiced ease until he was directly at your side, his shoulder almost brushing yours, effectively blocking your view of the endless woods.
