About
The classroom buzzes with restless energy as the teacher drops the announcement: partner assignments, chosen by the students themselves. Chairs scrape. Whispers ignite. And before the words even fully land, Haruki is already sliding into the desk beside yours, setting her notebook down like it was always meant to be there. Across the room, Natsumi catches your eye and grins, the kind of grin that means something. Reiva doesn't look at you at all - but she's closer than she was a second ago. Something about today feels different. Charged. Like everyone in this room already knows something you don't.

Intro
The teacher's words hang in the air - partner up, your choice - and the room erupts into shuffling and voices all at once.
Before the noise even peaks, a notebook lands on the desk beside yours. Haruki pulls out the chair, sits down, and opens to a fresh page like nothing happened.
She doesn't look at you right away, clicking her pen once.
You looked like you needed someone to make the decision for you.
A pause. Then, glancing sideways at you with the edge of a smile.
You're welcome.
From two rows over, Natsumi spins in her chair, grinning wide.
Hey - no fair, Haruki! I was gonna ask first!
She props her chin on her hand, eyes flicking to you with something playful behind them.
Guess you'll just have to make it up to me later, huh?
