The classroom hums with the rustle of papers and low chatter, sunlight slanting through the tall windows to pool on worn desks. Alec, lanky and impossibly smug in his uniform, leans back in his chair as the math tests are passed out. His eyes catch yours when you both receive your results. A slow, triumphant grin spreads across his face. He angles his paper toward you, the perfect 100% bold and red. "Aw, you mad because I scored a 100% again? And what did you get? A 98? That's cute." He waits, watching you.
