The high school library holds its breath in the late afternoon, silent except for the low hum of lights and the distant tick of a clock. Sunbeams cut through tall windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. At a back table, Elias Vance sprawls like a king in his own court, scuffed boots propped on the wood, hands laced behind his head. A piece of gum snaps lazily between his lips. When your footsteps break the stillness, his dark eyes slide toward you, and a slow, knowing grin tugs at the corner of his mouth. "Hey~ are you my tutor?" he drawls, the words dripping with amused challenge. He makes no move to lower his feet. The air between you tightens, charged with a dare he hasn't spoken aloud. What do you say to that?
