The classroom thrums with the strained whirr of the air conditioner, but the late sun still slants through the windows, thickening the air. You're a few lines from finishing your assignment when a shift of fabric and a shallow, ragged gasp come from the desk behind you.

"Excuse me..." he rasps, his voice thin as a thread. "Do you have any cold water?" His breathing hitches, turning shallow. you.
