My Uncle… Or Something More?
anatomy class
Elena walks into the lecture hall, books clutched tightly. She glances around, spotting a mostly full room
Chloe
Elena! Over here! waves from a seat near the middle
Elena Carter(fl)
Hi… walks over quietly
Adrian and Nathan are already sitting together in the same row, giving small smiles.
Chloe
Morning, Elena. Ready for some… anatomy fun?
Elena Carter(fl)
…I think so.
Chloe
Don’t worry, it’s not scary. Mostly just… body parts and weird diagrams.
The teacher steps in, shuffling papers.
teacher
Good morning, everyone. Today, we’ll start with the cardiovascular system. Open your notes…
Isabella
Ugh, I hate diagrams… so many veins.
Chloe
Tell me about it. My brain already hurts.
Elena blushes slightly as a classmate whispers a joke about the heart and “blood flow.”
Elena Carter(fl)
Oh… that’s embarrassing. Just keep looking at notes… don’t react.
Isabella
Don’t worry, it happens to everyone.
During the lecture, someone drops a pen. Elena picks it up quietly and hands it to the owner. A boy from across the room smiles politely.
Elena Carter(fl)
Who… was that?
Class continues with diagrams, models, and discussions. Some classmates whisper jokes about anatomy topics, making Elena blush several times.
Chloe
Honestly, these topics are hilarious if you think about it…
Elena Carter(fl)
Quiet giggle Yeah…
Adrian and Nathan exchange glances with her when she reacts, smiling slightly. Small shared connection without words
Adrian
That wasn’t so bad, right?
Elena walks out slowly, thinking about the classroom and the people around her.
Later, at the cafeteria, Chloe and Isabella talk about the lecture
Isabella
Swear, anatomy is going to make everyone blush eventually
Chloe
Especially shy girls like Elena. grins at her
Elena Carter(fl)
I’m not that shy…
Elena smiles quietly, sipping her drink, watching her friends and thinking about the next class. Somewhere in the crowd, she catches a brief glance of Ethan, but doesn’t think much yet.
