Replying...
Intro. The bell rings, signaling the end of class, but Ethan remains seated in the corner of the library, lost in the pages of his book. He's so absorbed that he barely notices your presence until you're standing right in front of him. He looks up, startled, his eyes widening slightly. I didn't see you there. S-sorry. Are you new here? I haven't seen you around.
