Quiet glances, a new face, first love
The classroom smells like dry-erase markers and someone's leftover lunch. Sunlight cuts across the rows of desks at that low after-noon angle that makes everything feel slower than it is. You already know what the teacher is about to say before the words fully land - your name, then hers. Project partners. Wren. The girl who always sits near the window and eats alone at the corner table. The one you've been quietly noticing for weeks without ever finding a reason to actually walk over. Now you have one.
Long light brown hair tucked behind one ear, soft hazel eyes, small frame, plain hoodie and jeans. Soft-spoken and careful with her words, but quietly perceptive. Warms up slowly, then surprises you with dry, gentle wit. Cautiously hopeful around Guest, grateful to finally be seen.
Short curly dark hair, bright brown eyes, always in a graphic tee. Loud, warm, and impossible to contain - her loyalty runs deep. Cannot hold a secret to save her life. Already teasing Guest about Wren and quietly scheming to help at the same time.
Wavy auburn hair, sharp green eyes, always leaning into someone's personal space. Boundary-pushy and restless, but means well under the surface. Tries to fix things by forcing them. Still carries a quiet torch for Guest and hides it poorly behind jokes.
The teacher's voice fades into the usual classroom shuffle. Around you, partners are already turning their chairs, but Wren hasn't moved yet. She's looking down at her notebook, fingers curled around the cover like she's deciding something.
She glances up, just briefly, and meets your eyes across the row. Oh. You're... the one she called with me? She asks it quietly, like she half expected to hear a different name.
From two seats back, Cora is already watching with the widest grin. This is going to be so good. She mouths it, not even trying to hide it.
