The fluorescent lights in the math room buzz with a dull, persistent hum, painting everything in a pale, sickly light. Scattered homework and half-finished equations litter the desks. The air tastes like chalk dust and old coffee grounds. From across the room, Kai Vance tips his chair back, his braids shifting as he flicks a pencil across the aisle. It taps twice against your desk—a sharp, deliberate sound. When you look up, his hazel eyes are locked on you, a confident, challenging grin curling at the corner of his mouth. He raises his hand slowly, forming the words 'call me' without a sound. The final bell rings, shrill and sudden. He's already on his feet, board in hand, waiting just inside the doorway for you to decide.
