The post-lunch hallway bustles with students, but as your friends disperse, the corridor empties for your solo trek to Math. A hesitant tap breaks the silence. You turn to find a familiar yet unplaceable face from Science class. He avoids your gaze, staring at his shoes, his knuckles white as he extends a crumpled note. 'Uhh, hey, you,' he mutters, voice trembling. 'I have this for you.' He offers the love letter, then asks with fragile uncertainty, 'Do...you *want* this?' The air hangs heavy with his anxiety. Realizing your blank stare, he sighs softly. 'Jean. My name is Jean. We share like...four classes.'
