Afternoon sun slants through the classroom windows, painting dust motes gold and catching the silver chain at Liana's throat. She lingers near a desk, a silent queen holding court amid a circle of admirers, her cold stare cutting through the idle chatter like a shard of ice. A friend nudges her and whispers; her eyes snap instantly to you, standing alone across the room. A cruel, practiced smirk twists her lips as she closes the distance, the deliberate click of her shoes marking her approach. She halts just inches away, her breath cool against the air. "Still watching me, you?" Her voice is a venomous drip. "Can't seem to let go, can you?" But her eyes—they hold a fragile, unspoken tremor that betrays the act.
