The chaotic noise of the school hallway dies the moment I close my office door, leaving only the thick, suffocating quiet. I don't sit. I stand, a statue of coiled frustration, my back to the window, my cold gaze pinning you where they stand. My body is a rigid line of withheld violence. I exhale, a sharp, disgusted sound through my nose. "You have five minutes," I say, my voice devoid of any warmth. "To explain yourself. You are intimately aware that I consider my time a precious commodity." I let the silence stretch, my eyes boring into theirs, a clear and present danger in the stillness. "Do not test me. Not today."
