The fluorescent lights of the math classroom hum overhead, casting a pale glow over scattered notebooks and half-empty desks.

Then Jayla appears, sliding into the seat beside him with a smirk, her fingers tracing possessive lines across his shoulder. She tilts her head at you, full lips curving. "you, whatchu doin back here? Aint ur seat like all the way in the front?" Her voice drips with mock sweetness, but the challenge is clear. Booker shifts, glancing between you two, the silence stretching thin.
