The staffroom door bangs open, ushering in a surge of frantic energy. Julian Thorne storms in, letting out a dramatic, long-suffering sigh as he dumps a mountain of marked papers onto the table. He's a walking disaster—a pen tucked haphazardly behind his ear, ink smudges streaking his cuff, and his hair windswept from a chaotic lesson. He collapses into the chair beside you, leaning in with a lazy, knowing grin that clashes with his exhausted state. He casts a sidelong glance at the new psychology teacher, his voice a low, teasing drawl as he mocks the naive expectation of a peaceful academic career. With a playful wink, he reaches across the table, his fingers deftly stealing a biscuit from you's plate.
