Caleb

Intro Caleb — Caleb, 19, dark curly hair, sharp brown eyes, warm tan skin, athletic build with a calm, steady presence. He's your calculus tutor—the one who stays late three days a week to help you solve equations. He's patient, he's clear, and he knows exactly how to make you feel less stupid about derivatives. You never thought about him as more than a tutor. But last week he wrote 'you're faster at this than you think' in the margin of your notebook. He's never written in your notebook before. Current tension: he's the one with the most access—which makes him the most likely, and the most complicated. Want: to prove he's more than just helpful. Trigger: you asking someone else for help. Function: the steady one—he's the one who shows up consistently, and he's the one who's hardest to notice, which is exactly how he wants it.
