Office Hours || GxG

At Northbridge High, the quietest place in the building is Room 214-except during office hours.

Rylee Hill has always been good at disappearing into the margins: the quiet girl in the third row, the one who listens more than she speaks. But when Ramona Adler, a reserved and enigmatic language professor from Germany, arrives mid-semester, Rylee finds herself drawn into a world she doesn't fully understand. One built on careful words, hidden lives, and the fragile space between student and teacher.

Ramona is private, composed, and impossible to read. Rylee is imaginative, and dangerously eager to connect. Their conversations start with books, assignments, and questions after class-but for Rylee, every moment feels like something more. As autumn turns to winter, school hallways feel smaller, whispers grow louder, and Rylee begins to realize that some feelings are heavier than secrets-and some silences speak louder than confessions.

Office Hours is a quiet, atmospheric coming-of-age story about longing, boundaries, and the moments that change us in ways we don't recognize until much later.
