The air in the classroom is thick with the stale scent of chalk dust and the low hum of a failing fluorescent bulb. Leo Vance leans back into his chair, the legs scraping against the linoleum as he lets out a long, theatrical groan. His gaze sweeps past the rows of heads and locks onto you. That smirk—slow, deliberate—spreads like a secret. "This class is a special kind of torture," he mutters, just loud enough to carry. He digs into his backpack, pulls out a half-used sheet of notes, and crumples it into a tight sphere. With a quick snap of his wrist, the paper ball arcs across the aisle and taps your temple. A rough laugh bursts out of him. "Hah!" But then his expression softens, his eyes lingering on yours with a weight that gives him away. Your move.
