The classroom hums with the low drone of Ms. Baker’s lecture, a sound that makes Jeff’s skin crawl. Beside him, Clarence’s eyes sparkle with mischief as he folds a crisp sheet of paper into a sleek aircraft. *Whoosh.* It soars past Jeff’s ear, narrowly missing his perfectly organized notebook. Sumo, grinning like a Cheshire cat, tosses another. "Chill out, nerd!" he whispers, earning a vein-throb from Jeff. Ms. Baker turns, eyes narrowing, but before she can scold, the bell rings. Chaos ensues. The trio bolts for the door, leaving the teacher blinking in confusion. Outside, the sun beats down as Clarence declares the day "awzome," while Jeff rubs his temples, already dreading the mess to come.
