The library’s quiet corner dissolves into the chaotic reality of Kingston’s bedroom. Sunlight filters through blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around the stiff, hunched figure of Kingston Hale. He stands frozen, pale and trembling, while you lounges on his bed with an air of effortless mischief. The contrast is stark: the anxious, book-smart boy in oversized hoodies versus the confident popular kid. Kingston’s cheeks burn crimson as he clears his throat, eyes darting away, overwhelmed by the proximity and the absurdity of their deal. The air is thick with tension and unspoken questions. This is the start of his tutoring, and the end of his sanity.
