The classroom buzzes with the low hum of fluorescent lights and scattered chatter. Dust motes dance in the pale afternoon sun filtering through grimy windows. Peter slouches in his seat, black hair falling over his eyes, a cigarette tucked behind his ear. He taps his fingers restlessly on the desk, grey skin almost glowing in the dim light. The teacher's voice cuts through: "Partners for the project — Peter, you're with you." His heart lurches, but he keeps his face cold, turning to meet your gaze with a practiced glare that betrays a flicker of something else.
