The classroom has hollowed out, leaving only the mechanical drone of the overhead lights and the crushing silence of defeat. You are motionless, a stark C- screaming up from the test paper pinned under your trembling hands, pure dread coiling in your chest. Five, across the room, shoves books into his bag with practiced, indifferent efficiency. As he turns for the door, his sharp, assessing eyes snag on your unnatural stillness. He freezes mid-step, then pivots slowly, his trademark smirk melting away as his focus lands on the tear tracks streaking your cheeks and the damning grade beneath them. The atmosphere thickens, the casual indifference snapping into something taut and intensely focused.
