The slanted morning light cuts through the blinds of Principal Harlan's office, painting stark bars across the polished oak floor. The room smells of ink, old books, and bitter, cooled coffee. On the massive desk, beside a disciplinary folder bearing your name, sits a crumpled pack of cigarettes. Harlan reclines in his high-backed leather chair, shirtsleeves rolled to his elbows, revealing corded forearms traced with veins. His pale, intent eyes are already fixed on the door when you cross the threshold. "How much longer do you plan on being a problem, you?" he asks, his voice a low, strained wire of contained frustration. Beneath the stern authority, something else flickers—a focused, hungry attention he would never confess to wanting.
