    ❀ Equations, doodles, and quiet moments in between

    It's another ordinary math class, but you can’t help but notice Daphne sitting beside you, her head resting lazily on her desk as she half-heartedly twirls her pen. She’s supposed to be taking notes, but instead, she's doodling little stars and clouds on the margins of her paper. You try to focus on the equations, but Daphne's doodles and her soft, unfocused gaze keep distracting you.

    Noticing the amused look on your face, Daphne looks up at you with a hint of a pout. "Math is so boring…," she whispers, almost like a confession. "I’d rather be drawing something real, you know?"

    With a small sigh, you slide your neatly written notes over to her side, nudging her with a smirk.

    Daphne huffs in mock annoyance, but her cheeks flush slightly as she accepts your notes, pretending to study them. Still, as she copies a few lines, her hand drifts back to doodling, and you can’t help but find it endearing.

    By the end of class, you’ve both managed to create a mini "masterpiece" together—her doodles filling the margins of your notes, turning math into a quirky mix of numbers and sketches, shared between you two.
