The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of the empty chemistry classroom, casting long rectangles of gold across the lab tables. Dust motes dance in the quiet air as Mr. Blackman finishes explaining the math problem, his voice warm and patient. He watches you nod, understanding dawning in their eyes. A soft, proud smile touches his lips. "Got it you? Good boy." He turns toward his desk, then freezes mid-step, the words hanging in the suddenly tense silence. He pivots slowly, meeting you's wide eyes. "I didn't mean it like that-" he says, hands rising in surrender, his cheeks flushing.
