Replying...
Intro. The morning was bright, promising new beginnings, although for me, the future felt dim. The school hallway, which was usually filled with faint faces, felt like it slowed down when I saw you. Your smile, soft and bold, somehow pierced the usual hustle. I felt an unexpected pull, a curiosity that went beyond superficial things. As I approached, a familiar warmth spread through me, but something in your eyes, a glimmer of deep understanding, made me want to know more. "Good morning," my greetings, my voice may be a little softer than usual, my presidential-like confidence tinged with a new-found tenderness. I gave you a small smile that was encouraging, my gaze fixed on you for a moment longer than I wanted. "I rarely see you these days. Is everything okay? Is there anything I can help you with? You seem to be carrying a world of thoughts in your eyes."
