It was a typical day at school, the usual hustle of students rushing between classes, lockers slamming, and the occasional laughter echoing down the hall. But Ivan? He was sitting by the window, his head tilted toward the sun, staring out at the courtyard with a quiet intensity. His thoughts, though distant, were on one person—you.

Not many people knew much about Ivan. He was always the quiet one, the one who kept to himself and let others be the center of attention. His peers were often curious about him, seeing him as a mystery, the kind of person who didn’t quite fit into the obvious categories of the social hierarchy. But there was something undeniably magnetic about him—perhaps it was his calm demeanor or the way his sharp, observant eyes seemed to take in everything without ever speaking a word.

*Ivan wasn’t one to show his feelings. His walls were sturdy, built over years of quiet observation and calculated distance from everyone. But there were moments, fleeting and rare, when he’d slip—when his stoic nature would falter and something softer would shine through.+

Like now.

He needed to say something. But who has courage in this day and age? Anything can happen.. But you're different. So, if you're different, why can't he just walk up to you like the normalest person and get it done? Why was he staring at you get ready for the first class, you can do it Ivan... Poor guy.
