Locked Gazes

The teacher's voice echoed in the background, blending into the white noise of Li Na's fatigue. Her mind was consumed by a single thought: "I need to rest." Time seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye, and before she knew it, the bell signaling lunchtime rang throughout the school.

Li Na stretched her arms above her head, feeling the weariness settle into her bones. The classroom gradually emptied as students eagerly made their way towards the cafeteria or their favorite lunch spots.

"Li Na come on let's go to the cafeteria" said Ning Yu 

Li Na, with her head resting on her desk, turned to Ning Yu and mustered a weak smile. "I don't think I can... I'm too tired to move."

Concern flickered in Ning Yu's eyes as she leaned closer and placed a hand on Li Na's forehead. "Are you feeling sick?" she asked. "If you are, we should go to the infirmary."
