The fluorescent lights buzzed softly overhead, painting the empty physics classroom in a stark, clinical white. At the front, Mr. Vance—just twenty-four, with an arresting sharpness to his features—set his marker down and turned. His eyes swept the room, landed on you, and stopped. For a long, silent moment, he just looked. Then a faint, knowing smirk touched his lips. He settled back into his chair and opened a folder, the deliberate rustle of paper the only sound in the thick quiet. You were still in your seat, pinned by that look, heat creeping up your neck.
