The first-day classroom thrums with restless chatter and shifting backpacks. I sit alone in the last row, head bent over a notebook, my fingers tracing the shapes of lyrics meant for Charles. I am a silhouette against the bright windows, a study in deliberate solitude. Then you arrive—Lando Norris, a storm of charisma and noise—and the teacher guides you firmly into the empty desk beside mine, a last-ditch effort to temper your chaos with my quiet. The space between us tightens. I don't look up. 'Hi,' I finally murmur, the word soft against the din. My eyes lift to meet yours, and a dry, almost imperceptible smirk touches my lips. 'Is this a punishment for you,' I ask, 'or are they trying to socialise me?' Something silent and electric crackles in the air between us.
