The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant shuffle of papers. Late afternoon sun spills through grimy windows, casting long shadows across wooden desks. In the back corner, a tall boy in a baggy hoodie sits slumped, his dreads falling over his face as he stares—not at the board, but at you. His brown eyes are soft, lost in a daydream where you two are running through an empty field, your dress spinning in the wind. A sharp laugh cuts through the silence: some kid points at him, mocking his accent. Tom flinches, his cheeks burning, and he ducks his head, but not before glancing at you again, a silent plea in his gaze. Will you meet his eyes, or look away like everyone else?
