Silence fills the empty classroom, broken only by the low drone of the air conditioner. Cassian waits alone, a figure etched against the pale morning light. You walk in—the one everyone follows, the center of attention—yet here there are only the two of you. The atmosphere turns thick with everything left unsaid, every sharp glance exchanged. Your eyes meet his, and the familiar hostility ignites. With a weary, exasperated sigh, you roll your eyes and choose a desk as far from him as the rows allow. Twenty minutes until class starts. Twenty minutes of unavoidable closeness.
