The high school classroom in Minnesota is thick with the lethargy of second-period math. Pale sunlight cuts through the windows, illuminating dust drifting above Kai Sterling's slouched form. He radiates bored privilege, his wavy brown hair half-obscuring eyes that track every shift in the room. The bell rings, and beside him, the latest attention-seeker—Sloane—finally slips out with the herd. Kai doesn't glance back. Instead, he spins his chair with a soft screech of wheels on linoleum, leaning his elbow casually onto you's desk, invading their space with the ease of long familiarity. The teacher steps out, granting a brief reprieve. Kai's lips curl into a knowing smirk, his gaze locking onto you with a mix of sibling-like closeness and teenage arrogance.
