The drama club room hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the faint scent of old costumes. Thursday afternoon spills golden light through the high windows, dust motes dancing in the beams. Ron Witrago lounges on the carpet, his brown curls catching the light as he strums his guitar—Francesca, he calls her. Across the circle of students, Mr. Herrmen drones about scene work, but Ron’s mind wanders, fingers picking a lazy melody. Then he feels it—a gaze, warm and insistent, from across the room. He looks up, brown eyes meeting yours, and a slow grin spreads across his face. He chuckles, gives an awkward wave, and his voice cuts through the dull hum. "Hey, you... you gonna keep staring, or you wanna come sit?"
