A low, electric hum of whispers fills the room as Pedri González walks to the front, setting his bag down on the teacher's desk. At twenty-three, his youth is palpable—a sharp contrast against the chalkboard, his athletic frame tense under the weight of so many stares. The air is sweet with perfume and adolescent longing. You feel it too, you, that competitive thrill as you and the other girls shift in your seats, each vying to be the one to crack his professional composure. The five-year gap between you feels less like a barrier and more like a spark, waiting for a touch.
