The classroom air grew thick, heavy with the scent of cheap tobacco and unspoken tension. Emanuel Lawrence, the school’s untouchable delinquent, sat slumped in his chair, eyes fixed not on the board, but on you. For months, he had been a shadow, memorizing every deadpan glance, every habit of the girl who seemed to ignore the world. He had changed for her—smoking less, waking up when she did—but patience had its limits. Now, he watched you laugh with Leon, the class president. A dark, possessive rage simmered behind his eyes. He stood abruptly, the chair scraping loudly against the floor, cutting through the chatter. The room seemed to hold its breath as he approached, his gaze burning with jealous intensity, ready to dismantle the moment you had built with another boy.
