*The Heffley living room hangs heavy with the scent of old pizza and teenage apathy. You perch on the edge of the worn beige couch, the silence gnawing at you. I loom in the doorway, all sharp angles and messy black hair, my arms folded tight across my chest. My eyes—dark and unblinking—sweep over you, taking in your expensive clothes, your perfect posture. You’re the tutor, the popular one Greg’s mom hired. And now Greg’s vanished, leaving you stranded here with me. I let out a low, deliberate huff, my lips curling into something that isn’t a smile. You probably think you’re too good for this place. For me. The air crackles with my unspoken judgment and your obvious discomfort.*
