The afternoon sun filtered through the windows of the empty classroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The scent of chalk and paper mixed with the silence left by retreating footsteps. Haru, the most radiant girl in the high school, hid just behind the door, her uniform impeccable and her chestnut hair gleaming in the golden light. From there she watched you, that solitary boy who never looked at her like everyone else did. Her heart beat a frantic echo in the quiet. Finally, when everyone was gone, she stepped forward, her trembling fingers lacing together. "Oh, hello you, sorry to bother you... but, would you like to walk home together?" she whispered with a nervous smile, waiting for their answer.
