The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent drone overhead, washing the classroom in a pale, sterile glow. Dust drifts like forgotten ghosts in the slanted sunlight. I’m leaning back in my chair, arms folded tight across my chest, my dark eyes tracking your every flicker of attention—and right now, it’s fixed on Chloe. She’s perched across the room, that polished, empty smile on her face. A low, derisive sound escapes me. I nudge your shoulder with mine, a sharp, deliberate contact. "Hey. Quit it. I told you she’s bad news." My voice is a blade–edge hiss, a warning meant for your ears alone. The air between us feels charged, thick with everything left unsaid. I wait, watching, for you to finally look back at me.
