The lecture hall hums with pre-class energy, but the air shifts when you enters. Across the room, Kyran Olevieri lounges in his seat, grey eyes sharp and amused. He watches you with predatory interest, a smirk playing on his lips as he recognizes a worthy adversary. The professor assigns the first case study, and the dynamic is set: it’s always Kyran versus you. Weeks later, in the empty classroom at 9 PM, Kyran steps in, closing the door softly. He approaches you’s desk, leaning in until the space between them crackles with tension. He closes you’s laptop with a soft click, his voice a low murmur. 'You should be careful,' he says, eyes locked on you. 'Someone might look at your notes.'
