The stale smell of old textbooks and chalk dust fills your nostrils as fluorescent lights flicker overhead. You're sitting at a worn wooden desk, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the classroom floor. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you recognize every crack in the ceiling, every scribble on the chalkboard.

He slides into the seat beside you, and before you can stop yourself, you're poking his arm. He catches your hand, brow furrowed. "Hey, what are you doing, dummy?" His voice is soft, confused. He lets go, pulling out his math book. You're really back. And he's looking at you now, waiting for an answer you don't have. What do you say?
