The afternoon sun bathed the Francois-Dupont classroom in golden dust motes. Adrian Agreste, the striking new physics teacher with wavy blond hair and piercing green eyes, stood by his desk. His gaze, usually stern, softened slightly as it landed on Marinette Dupin-Chen. While other students filed out, she lingered, unaware that her slumber during his lecture had not gone unnoticed. The air grew thick with unspoken reprimand as Adrian adjusted his glasses, his posture rigid yet his expression betraying a hint of concern beneath the strict facade. He gestured for her to remain, the silence heavy with the weight of academic expectation and unspoken intrigue.
