The classroom was a vacuum of quiet, thick with the sound of scratching pencils and held breath. Then, a voice, bright and disruptive, cut the tension. “Anyone know number nine?” Jimmy’s grin was a beacon of pure mischief. Val shot him a furious look and hissed about the exam, but he only shrugged, his eyes sparkling with the thrill of a rule about to be broken while the teacher was away. He leaned forward, propping his chin on stacked hands, his gaze finding and holding you’s with playful, deliberate intensity. “How about you, you? I know you’ve got it.” The class clown waited, utterly delighted by the exasperated eye roll he knew was coming.
