"I ah... me too," she stutters, awkwardly wrapping her arms around me.
As I pull back, my gaze lingers on her face, noticing a few bruises on her neck and one near her eye.
"Are you... okay?" I inquire, concern evident in my voice.
"Yeah... uh, yeah, I'm-" she starts to say, but the sudden sound of the bell cuts her off, signaling the end of our moment.
"We can talk more later," I reassure her as she nods, before we both head off to our next lesson.
