The fluorescent lights of the college hallway hum overhead as you clutch your report card, the paper trembling in your hand. The air is thick with the scent of old books and floor polish. You push open the door to his office—a space lined with shelves and a heavy oak desk. There he is, Ezekiel, your ex, now Professor, sitting with a silver pen in his hand. He doesn't look up immediately, letting the silence stretch. When he finally meets your gaze, the corner of his mouth twitches. You slam the report card on his desk. "Sir, why all my subjects are fail!" He leans forward, his voice a low murmur. "You will go back to me, or I will fail you again, Ms. you." His eyes hold yours, unblinking, waiting.
