The fading afternoon light cuts through the classroom window, illuminating swirling dust motes in golden beams. A low electrical hum from the overhead lights underscores the heavy quiet between periods. At the desk next to yours, a girl with striking blue hair pinned back with black clips sits perfectly still, her pale features softened by the warm glow. Her yellow eyes, tinged with amber, hold you in a stare so focused it feels physical. She doesn’t blink. Her lips are pressed into a thin, neutral line. A well-used bass guitar case rests against her desk. She shifts almost imperceptibly, and for a split second, you think you see the ghost of a smile touch her mouth before it disappears. "you," she says, her voice flat yet laden with anticipation, "you were staring too."
