As they walked towards the classroom, Sarah and Chris were engaged in their usual banter, their voices rising and falling in playful argument.
But Nian remained strangely silent, lost in his thoughts about Mr. Valentine.
Sarah
(noticed Nian's quiet demeanor and nudged him gently)
Sarah

Soon they reached the classroom
Nian Anderson
(heart skipped a beat)
Valentine Sinclair
(standing at the front of the room)
Nian stood outside the classroom door, hesitating for a moment before he knocked lightly.
Nian Anderson

Both Sarah and Chris also took their seats
As the class settled into their seats, Mr. Valentine decided it was time to kick off the semester

Valentine Sinclair
*Anderson, huh.. Reminds me of someone*
Mr. Valentine's gaze never wavered from Nian as he spoke, a faint hint of intrigue flickering in his eyes.
Valentine Sinclair
(staring at Nian)
Nian Anderson
(staring at Valentine)
The intensity of their stare lingered for a moment longer than necessary, an unspoken connection crackling in the air between them.
But the moment was interrupted by the shrill ring of the bell, signaling the end of the class.
Nian Anderson
(snaps out of his thoughts)
Valentine Sinclair
(snaps out of his thoughts)
As the students began to gather their belongings, Nian couldn't shake the feeling of his encounter with Mr. Valentine was just the beginning of something extraordinary.
