Adam was sitting on one of the benches farthest from the other students beside Alice, who had insisted they needed to talk alone after practically dragging him there.
Piers had left them alone almost immediately after Alice appeared, muttering something about going to the library before disappearing at a suspicious speed.

Adam stared ahead with a calm expression as he organized his thoughts about the previous class, trying to ignore the fact that Alice was staring at him intensely from his side.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed she was trembling slightly, though it wasn't exactly nervousness. It was... more excitement than anything else.
