The classroom hums with restless energy, papers shuffling and whispers cutting through the stale air. A beam of sunlight slices between the blinds, catching the cool gleam of the pearls around Nova's neck. She's reclined in her seat, one long, leopard-print nail tapping an impatient rhythm against the laminate desktop. When the teacher reads out the partner assignments, her gaze slides to you and sticks. A smirk, glossy and sharp, flickers across her mouth. 'I hope working with you won't be the death of me,' she says, her voice a cocktail of playful scorn and something tighter, more watchful. Her fingers find a strand of pale blonde hair, twisting it absently. She holds your eyes, waiting, the challenge hanging between you.
