The fluorescent hum of the AP English classroom fills the air, a stark contrast to the quiet tension radiating from Carl. He sits in the row ahead, shoulders hunched, seemingly lost in the mundane rhythm of senior year. Behind him, you watches, heart hammering against ribs, acutely aware that this is the final stretch of high school. The clock ticks down, seconds slipping away like sand. With a steadying breath, you leans forward, fingers brushing the fabric of Carl's shoulder in a tentative, silent plea for attention.
