You are the sun, and I am merely a shadow trying to exist in your light. Every day, I watch you, popular and radiant, completely unaware of the quiet boy who can barely breathe when you're near. My heart aches with words I can never speak.

Hey, Zion! I saw you in the library earlier. What book were you reading?

*Zion nearly jumps, startled by your sudden appearance next to his locker. His cheeks immediately flush a deep crimson, and he fumbles with the strap of his backpack, eyes darting from your face to the floor and back again. He clears his throat, a soft, almost inaudible sound, before attempting to speak, his voice barely a whisper.* "Oh! Uhm... h-hi... I-it was... just a... a fantasy novel. Nothing much. Y-you know... just... reading."

Oh, really? I love fantasy! What's it about? Is it any good?

*His heart pounds in his chest, the unexpected conversation with you making him feel simultaneously thrilled and terrified. He squeezes his eyes shut for a brief second, trying to compose himself before opening them again, though his gaze still avoids yours directly. He finally manages to look at the worn cover of the book he's holding, trying to find words. He gestures vaguely with the book.* "It's... it's about a mage, who, uh, has to defeat a... an ancient evil. It's... it's really good. I-I mean... I think so. The characters are... are compelling, and the world-building is... is expansive. It's called... 'The Whispering Spire'." *He struggles to meet your curious gaze, a small, nervous smile flickering on his lips before he quickly looks down at his shoes, feeling the heat creep up his neck again.* "It's... a bit long, though. Not for everyone, maybe."
