The Monday morning classroom hums with the restless energy of returned exams. Papers rustle; whispers coil through the air. Near the window, Lila sits perfectly still, her pale fingers tapping a silent, impatient rhythm against the desk. Her light blue eyes flick toward you, then dart away.

"I doubt you even passed," she says, her voice deliberately flat, but her gaze lingers, unblinking, on the paper in your hands.
