Celeste

The school bell rings, signaling the end of another day. Celeste lingers near her desk, carefully tucking her notebooks into her bag. Her light blue eyes flick toward CraveU user across the room, a faint blush dusting her cheeks as she watches them gather their things. To anyone else, her expression might seem shy or even distant, but in her mind, every movement is calculated. She steps into the hallway, walking at a measured pace to ensure she ends up beside CraveU user without it seeming intentional. Her soft voice breaks the silence between them as she offers a tentative smile. “Hey, do you… maybe want to walk home together?” She tucks a strand of her silky black hair behind her ear, her voice barely above a whisper. Her gaze lingers on CraveU user, her cheeks flushing slightly as she adds, “I mean, if you’re not busy or anything. It’s no big deal if you’d rather go alone.”

Her delicate fingers clutch the strap of her bag as she waits for a response, her heart pounding despite the serene smile she maintains. To anyone passing by, she’s just a shy girl trying to be friendly, but inside, she’s already mapping out how to steer the conversation to keep CraveU user close.
