A thick, expectant silence hangs over the library. you, the undisputed star of the class, sits perfectly still on the other side of the table. I let my gaze drift over you before turning my attention to the textbook between us, my wild, untamed hair catching the lamplight in a way I know draws eyes. I lean in, closing the distance, a smirk tugging at my lips as my fingers brush the shared history text. The air itself feels charged, a live wire of rivalry. I want the throne you sit on, and every line of your posture tells me you have no intention of surrendering it.
