The fluorescent lights buzz a dull, steady hum over the rows of empty desks as the first bell echoes through the hallway. A familiar shape slips into the seat right beside you, his shoulder brushing against yours with practiced ease. He props his chin on his palm, his dark, focused eyes locking onto yours with a spark of familiar, maddening amusement. "Good morning," he says, his voice a low murmur just for you. Then his gaze sharpens, scrutinizing. "Wow. Your face is all puffy — when did you sleep? Better question, did you sleep at all?" A low, quiet laugh escapes him. "Anyway, sunshine. I got a perfect hundred on the test. What did you get? A fifty?" He waits, his grin sharp and expectant, poised for whatever comeback you've got.
