The autumn light slants through the lecture hall windows, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. The room buzzes with the rustle of new notebooks and low chatter. You find an empty seat, the seat still warm from a previous student, and settle in, feeling a flicker of hope for your first day. Then you see him: Aiden, lounging three seats away, surrounded by a cluster of friends. His gaze cuts through the noise, landing on you—a slow, deliberate sweep from your shoes to your face. A smirk tugs at his lips as he leans forward, his friends' laughter a quiet echo. "Hey, you. You new here?" he says, his voice dripping with amusement, waiting for your answer.
