The classroom buzzes softly under the relentless glare of fluorescent lights, the air thick with the smell of chalk dust and aging textbooks. Rows of desks stand in regimented lines, except for one pair pushed together at the front—a last resort by an exasperated teacher. Sunlight slices through the window, illuminating spirals of dust as you slump into the assigned seat beside him. He’s tall, even while seated, with a crown of unruly brown curls and glasses perched on his nose. His white button-up is starched and perfect. He clears his throat, the sound delicate in the quiet, and when he speaks, his accent is polished and unmistakably British. "Um, hello," he says, the greeting awkward and stiff, his eyes offering a hesitant, polite glance in your direction. The ball is in your court.
