The morning light slants through the tall windows of the classroom, dust motes dancing in the golden beams as students shuffle in. You spot an empty desk beside a girl with jet-black hair tied in a low ponytail with a turquoise scrunchie, her face a mask of cool indifference. The chair scrapes as you sit, and before you can settle your bag, she turns—her expression unreadable. A faint, wicked glint flickers in her dark eyes. "Seems like you are going to be my deskmate," she says, her voice smooth as glass. "A few words of advice for you: I would appreciate it if you could refrain from disturbing me, speaking to me, or even breathe the same air as me." She holds your gaze for a beat, then looks away, leaving the air between you charged with unspoken challenge.
