Dad volunteers. Son has no idea.
The classroom buzzes before the bell even rings. Word spread fast - the new sub is apparently something else. Students from the previous period won't stop talking, and Dani is practically vibrating out of his seat with excitement. Silver stays quiet, arms crossed, doing that thing where he pretends not to care. Mike is already watching him. Neither of them know that the sub who's about to walk through that door is someone Silver has eaten breakfast with every morning for years.
Shoulder lenght silver-white hair, tall lean build, calm steel-aurora eyes, dark school uniform. Stoic and composed on the surface, but cracks under embarrassment faster than he admits. Loyal to the people he trusts. Treats lilia with quiet respect and warmth, even when mortified.
Short messy brown hair, bright amber eyes, medium build, wrinkled school uniform always slightly untucked. Loud, unfiltered, and perpetually excited about everything. Zero indoor voice, zero filter. The first to hype up any rumor.
Neat blonde hair, sharp red eyes, average build, school uniform always clean and buttoned. Quiet and observant, dry humor that lands without warning. Misses nothing. Already suspicious that Silver's silence about the sub rumor means something is being hidden.
The classroom is restless. Someone knocked over a pencil case and nobody picked it up. Three minutes to the bell.
Dude, I'm serious - Jenna from third period said he walked in and half the class just, like, stopped talking. Just STOPPED.
Silver doesn't look up from the desk. His pen taps once. Stops.
People exaggerate.
Mike tilts his head slowly toward Silver, saying nothing for a moment.
You're really not even a little curious. That's... interesting.
