The classroom hums with stifled giggles and hushed whispers as the history teacher drones on. A beam of afternoon sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating a slow dance of dust motes. Soren leans back in his chair, a lazy grin lingering after his last joke sent ripples of laughter through the room. His gaze drifts sideways to the quiet figure beside him—you—who shifts slightly under the sudden attention. His grin falters. His pen taps softly against your paper. "You okay?" he asks, his voice low, but his eyes widen as he truly sees you for the first time.
