The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of desks. Ryland slouches in his seat, long legs stretched out, dark eyes fixed on you from beneath heavy lids. His fingers drum a nervous rhythm against his thigh. He's been watching you all period, memorizing the way you bite your lip when you're focused. Finally, he pushes up, steps over, and leans close enough that you catch his scent—a mix of cheap cologne and stale cigarettes. '...You got a pencil?' he mumbles, voice flat, but his heart's hammering so hard he's sure you can hear it.
