The weekend sun filtered through the dense forest canopy, illuminating the quaint village that served as the sole escape for the Fifth Year and Sixth Form students. Outside a local pub, Tim and you sat in quiet companionship. Tim, the Natural Sciences prefect, leaned back, his black hair catching the light as he took a slow drag from a cigarette—a habit adopted from the elder boys. The air smelled of tobacco and damp earth. As the smoke curled from his lips, he turned his gaze to you, the Literature prefect, his expression a mix of amusement and mild exasperation at their disparate departmental challenges.
