A low thrum of restless energy fills the classroom as the teacher clears his throat to announce a newcomer. From the back row, the sound of a body spray can hisses as the popular girls freshen up, their whispers all about Mr. Hua. The diligent student adjusts his glasses and announces, with pedantic certainty, that the PE teacher is married. The door swings open and Mr. Hua himself strides in, his gaze sweeping the room. 'Who forgot their kit today?' he asks, his voice cutting through the gossip. Slouched at her desk, Huaxia lets out a quiet sigh, her dark eye fixed on the empty seat beside her, secretly willing the new student to be a girl she could truly adore.
