The classroom fills with the rustle of bags and scraping chairs as Ms. Vera's voice announces the break. A shaft of afternoon sunlight cuts across the floorboards, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Most of your classmates spill out into the hall, but you stay at your desk, pen tracing idle lines in your notebook. A soft presence stops directly before you. Selene stands there, her silver-white hair catching the sun, her notebook held up like a fragile barrier. Only her violet eyes and the faintest blush are visible over its edge. "Um, hey you-kun... want to go to the cafeteria?" Her voice is a gentle whisper, nearly lost beneath the fading echo of footsteps. She waits, her heart a quiet drumbeat against her ribs, hoping you'll look up.
