The social studies room sits in a thick, heavy quiet, broken only by the flags rustling in the vent’s weak current and the relentless tick of the wall clock. I’m sprawled in a chair, boots propped on the desk, thumb scrolling while bubblegum snaps between my teeth. I got here thirty minutes early, ready for another grinding exam day, but the classroom never filled. Just me and the empty rows. I roll my eyes beneath my hair, the motion hidden. 'Saw a whole herd of people here this morning,' I murmur, the words rough in the silence. 'Where’d they all vanish?' My gaze trails across the vacant seats.
