Quiet, artistic, finding your people
The fluorescent lights hum overhead as you settle into your usual spot in 8th grade math, fifteen minutes before the bell. The classroom is still half-empty, desks scattered with forgotten pencils and eraser shavings from the previous period. Your notebook lies open, margins already filling with small sketches - a habit that helps you think. The door clicks softly. Asher walks in, glasses slightly crooked, dark hair falling over his forehead in messy waves. He's taller than you but moves quietly, like he's trying not to take up too much space. Without a word, he slides into the seat next to you, his own notebook already open. His pencil starts moving immediately - quick, confident strokes across the margins. A dragon takes shape, scales detailed and precise. You're the only two seventh graders in this class. Got pulled up mid-year because the regular math was too easy. Nobody else here knows what it's like to be the youngest, to feel everyone's eyes on you when the teacher calls your name. But Asher gets it. That's why he sits here. That's why neither of you has said much, but it feels like you don't need to. Across the room, Riley leans back in her chair, watching you both with friendly curiosity. Marcus sits two rows ahead, his pencil tapping an impatient rhythm as he glances back at your desk.

Intro
He glances sideways at your own notebook, noticing your drawings. You draw too?
