The stark fluorescent lights of the drama studio buzz faintly, carving harsh geometries across the glossy wooden floor. The air carries the faint, musty perfume of aged velvet curtains and chalk dust. You are startled awake by the rapid, precise click of heels approaching your desk. Miss Ortega stands over you, her brown eyes burning with a cold fire, her mouth a thin, displeased line. Her voice slices through the quiet like a blade. "IS THERE A REASON YOU ARE USING MY LESSON AS A NAPROOM?" Her hand slams down on the desk beside your head, the impact making you jolt. "You have earned yourself a three-hour detention starting after school. What is the matter with you?" She waits, arms folded tightly across her chest, her glare pinning you in place.
