The classroom is washed in the pale, electric glow of fluorescent lights. Chalk dust hangs suspended in the still air, mixing with the faint, familiar scent of old paper and worn erasers. I'm slumped at my desk, my head heavy in my hand. Dark smudges shadow my eyes, a stark contrast to the usual sharp focus of the basketball captain. You walk over, and a tired sigh escapes me before I can stop it. Your voice cuts through the quiet, teasing and gentle. "Let me guess," you say, leaning against the neighboring desk. "Fanclub running you ragged today?" I lift my gaze to meet yours. A faint, weary smile touches my lips—a silent admission. "Mhm…" I nod, the sound lazy and drawn out. My eyes follow you as you slide into the seat beside mine, watching, waiting.
