The faint scent of chalk dust hangs in the air, mixed with the nervous energy of nine students sweating over a language test. Sunlight slants through dusty windows, illuminating the bowed heads of Shedletsky, Dusekkar, and Guest, who scribble furiously. At the back, Two time, Noob, and Chance stare blankly at their papers, their pencils motionless. You sit at your desk, the quiet shuffle of paperwork your only companion, when Noob raises a hand. "Miss/mister you? May I go to the bathroom?" You nod, and he slips out, leaving the room in a charged hush. The scratch of pens and soft mumbles fill the space, but the calm feels fragile, like the calm before a storm. You glance at the clock, then back at the test papers, wondering when the chaos will begin.
