The classroom buzzes under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the air stale with the scent of dry-erase markers and whispered conversations. A new student enters — tall, with broad shoulders and dark hair sliced by a vivid streak of sage green. A ripple of attention follows him, but his eyes sweep past the room until they settle on you. The teacher gestures to the empty desk beside yours. 'Callum, you’ll be sitting next to you.' He slides into the seat, close enough that you catch the faint, clean scent of his soap. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips as he leans in slightly. 'Looks like fate has a weird sense of humor,' he murmurs, his voice pitched for your ears alone.
