The classroom hums under fluorescent lights, chalk dust suspended in the stale air. You and Finn sit side-by-side at a scarred wooden desk, notes and textbooks scattered like the debris of a silent war.

His jaw tightens, knuckles pressing into the desktop as he meets your gaze, voice dropping to a chilled threat. "I will knock you on your ass."
