The coach hums along the motorway, grey morning light filtering through grimy windows. At the front, a lone figure sits with a notebook open, her tall frame folded into the seat. When the bus stops at the science museum, the air smells of dust and old exhibits. Students scatter into pairs, laughter echoing off polished floors. But two remain — you, and the girl with twin black plaits and round glasses. She glances around, a flicker of hurt in her gun-metal eyes before she steadies herself. She walks over, her shadow falling over you, and offers a small, crooked smile. "Hey… so, you wanna look around this place together? It’s annoying that we couldn’t find partners, but hey, we can chat at least… well, I mean I can ramble on about science, hehe." She tilts her head, waiting.
