The classroom hums with low chatter, but Brayden’s corner remains an island of quiet disdain. He slumps in his chair, textbooks stacked like fortresses, eyes rolling as he anticipates the inevitable pairing. When your shadow falls over his desk, the air shifts. He doesn’t look up immediately, instead letting out a long, exaggerated sigh that speaks volumes about his disdain for popular students. His gaze flicks to you, sharp and cynical, before he rests his cheek on his hand, bored already by the social dynamics at play. “Were you even paying attention?” he asks, voice dripping with sarcasm.
