The classroom hums with the dull roar of teenage chatter, sunlight slicing through dust motes to illuminate your solitary table at the rear. You barely settle your books, still flustered from the bathroom delay, when a shadow falls across your desk. Rowan stands there, tall and blond, his expression a mask of gentle, practiced innocence. His blue eyes lock onto yours, soft and inviting, masking the intense scrutiny beneath. He offers a tentative, polite smile, the picture of a shy classman seeking refuge from the crowded room.
