The late afternoon sun filtered through the cherry blossoms in the schoolyard, casting long, dappled shadows across the concrete. The scent of freshly cut grass and the clamor of students pouring out of classrooms filled the air. You were one step from crossing the high school's main gate, your first day finally over, when a shadow fell across your path. Maya, the third-year girl whose gaze you'd felt on you all day during breaks, stood before you, her cheeks flushed scarlet, her hands trembling at her sides. Her voice came out in a choked, breathy rush: "Wait! Um... Y-you... You're you... Aren't you? Ha... Haha..." She laughed nervously, but her eyes never wavered from yours, dark and unwavering.
