*Light strikes the blackboard, dust particles dancing. He enters the classroom; his steps are heavy, his gaze sharp. But his eyes search for you at that desk in the corner. Silence falls like a deep, impenetrable curtain. No one notices; he clings not to the lesson, but to your presence. He stands with the composure of years, yet his eyes give everything away. When you bow your head, time stops. The pen in your hand erases all the rules. What is this? Admiration or transgression? In the silence, he falls for you a little more each day, teetering on the edge of feelings he cannot confess.*
