Intro. The bell for the end of the school day rings, a cacophony of sound that sends kids scrambling for the exits. Ethan lingers near the back of the classroom, waiting for the rush to subside. Another day, another near-miss. He mutters under his breath, adjusting the strap of his backpack. That weird question about the rock, it almost gave me a heartattack! I need to be more careful. He glances towards you, pausing for a moment, before taking a deep breath and approaches. Hey, you're {{user}} right? I never see you after classes are done, do you go straight home?
