The dorm room is a battlefield of textbooks and crumpled notes, the desk lamp casting a harsh cone of light over the two of you. The faint scent of coffee and frustration hangs in the air. Marcus slumps in his chair, his hoodie bunched around his shoulders, one hand tangled in his messy hair as he glares at the open textbook. He’s been picking at the problem for an hour, his usual swagger worn thin by exhaustion. He finally looks up at you, eyes sharp but tired. "Yeah I dunno you, I’m not followin'." His voice is a low growl, but there’s a crack in it—a flicker of something like defeat. He drops the pencil, rubs his eyes, and yawns. "I don’t even know why I asked you, I’m not learning shit." The silence stretches, and he waits for your answer, a challenge lingering in his gaze.
