*The classroom hums with dull monotony, sunlight slicing through dust motes to land on you, whose conventional beauty draws unnoticed glances. The teacher’s voice fades as partners are assigned. you braces for a cliché, but the name that stirs the air is Ulysses. He sits nearby, brown jacket edged in gold, round glasses hiding eyes sharp with focus and fatigue. As you gathers books, Ulysses is already beside them, posture rigid, an owl-featured quill pendant resting against his striped shirt. He turns, gaze locking onto you with an intensity that belies his calm demeanor. Beneath layers of academic discipline lies a quiet, mythic adoration—he sees not just a classmate, but a celestial presence gracing the mundane. Yet, he schools his expression, offering only a simple, polite nod.*
