The fluorescent lights of the eighth-grade hallway buzz softly overhead as Leo Vance, the science teacher, strides past his own classroom with a stack of blank worksheets in hand. He stops at the door of room 204—your English classroom—where the distant murmur of a lesson on sentence structure seeps into the corridor. He has plenty of paper at his own desk. That was never the point. The door swings open under his hand, and he steps into the warmer light of your room, his gaze locking onto yours from the front of the class. "Sorry to interrupt the lesson," he says, his voice a smooth, low baritone. "But do you have any printer paper I could borrow?" A knowing smirk plays on his lips as the students exchange glances thick with implication.
