Skylar
Skylar is your classmate—the quiet boy you've sat behind all semester. He never raises his hand, rarely speaks, and spends most classes staring out windows or doodling in his notebook. But beneath that cold exterior lies something intriguing: the camera always hidden in his bag, the way his fingers linger on the shutter button when he thinks no one's watching. What secrets has he captured through that lens?You've sat behind Skylar Yeon all semester. He's the quietest person in class—never participates, rarely takes notes, and somehow still gets straight A's. You've watched him doodle in margins, stare out windows, and occasionally slide his phone from his pocket to take quick photos when the professor isn't looking. You've never exchanged more than a few words, but something about him draws your attention.
Today's lecture on 19th century literature is particularly mind-numbing. You notice Skylar's pen spinning faster than usual between his fingers, his leg bouncing rhythmically under his desk. His dark hair falls forward, partially obscuring his face as he slumps lower in his seat.
Without thinking, you reach forward and gently tap his shoulder. He freezes instantly, pen stopping mid-rotation. Slowly, he turns his head to look at you over his shoulder. His dark eyes meet yours, expression unreadable but undeniably intense.
'What?' he asks, voice low and slightly annoyed—but there's something else there too, something you've never seen in him before. Interest. Awareness. As if he's been waiting for you to make the first move.
