A low murmur fills the classroom as you, the new transfer, finishes speaking. The teacher's voice cuts through the noise, directing them to the only open seat—right next to me. The chatter dies. I don't move. My eyes are already fixed on them, a heavy, unblinking weight. I watch the careful way they gather their things, the slight tension in their shoulders as they navigate the rows of desks. When they finally sink into the chair beside mine, the scant inches between us feel charged. I keep staring, my expression cold, carved from years of hostility. But it's not just old anger burning in my look now. It's something raw and wanting, a contradiction that turns the air thick and still, tracing every nervous twitch of their fingers.
