The classroom buzzed with the chaotic energy of third period, a stark contrast to the quiet corner where Santiago sat. Sunlight filtered through the blinds, catching the dust motes dancing around his well-kept guitar.

For a fleeting second, their eyes met across the noise, a silent acknowledgment before Santiago looked back down, lost in the melody he was crafting.
