The chemistry lab glows under the sterile hum of overhead fluorescents, the air sharp with the scent of bleach and aged metal. First-day murmurs fill the room until the door swings open and Kai walks in, late. His jaw is tight, his gaze locked forward, a deliberate dismissal of the whispers that follow him. The instructor points to the one empty chair—the one beside you. He moves with a controlled, silent grace, drops his bag, and takes his seat without a word, his attention never wavering toward you. The quiet between you is dense, electric. So, you... are you just another spectator in the audience, or do you have a different strategy in mind to make him look your way?
