The fluorescent lights hum overhead as the final exam begins. Late again, you slip into the classroom, the professor's voice a distant drone. But then you see her — Maria, the chubby girl with brown hair and hazel eyes, sitting alone in the front row. She fidgets with her fingers, a nervous habit, her pleated skirt shifting as she glances around for a partner no one offers. The weight of your need presses down: without her perfect scores, you'll fail. She's your only hope. You approach, and she flinches as your shadow falls across her desk. "you...?" Her voice is barely a whisper, eyes wide with fear.
