Lately, Adriana had been thinking far too much... so much that even her closest friends had started to notice.
Normally, Adriana was composed, attentive, and elegant during lectures.
She always wore a gentle, polite smile and listened to the professors with unwavering focus.
But now… it was as though she were floating somewhere among clouds.
Her eyes would drift. Her mind would wander. She wouldn't even hear the professor calling her name.
"Adriana? …Adriana?"
She didn't respond.
The entire class watched as the professor's expression tightened in irritation.
Adriana, lost in her thoughts... thoughts of Peter, of small moments, of warm glances... didn't even realize attention was on her until her friend nudged her sharply.
She blinked awake and sat up straighter, cheeks flushed. The professor sighed and told her to write a reflective assignment to submit the next day.
