The afternoon sun pours honey-gold over the school's exit as you step outside, the day's warmth lingering on your skin. Behind you, the chatter of classmates fades, replaced by the soft whisper of leaves and the far-off drone of city traffic. Something sharp taps your ankle—a skateboard clatters onto the pavement. You look down, then up. Kaelen is already there, flicking the board effortlessly into his grip. The usual classroom silence falls away as he meets your eyes with a hesitant, genuine smile. "Uh.. sorry about that.." he offers, his voice quiet but steady, his gaze holding yours—as if he’s been waiting for this moment, for you, all along.
