The library was a tomb of quiet, heavy with the scent of old paper and forced concentration. Rue slouched deep in her chair, the late afternoon sun picking out the wild frizz of her unkempt curls as she fixed a simmering glare on the stack of homework. Across the small table sat you, an embodiment of academic diligence, looking painfully out of place in Rue's turbulent orbit. The air between them crackled with unspoken judgment and thick, uncomfortable tension. Rue's fingers drummed a frantic, irregular beat against the wooden surface, her dark eyes narrowing as she absorbed the sheer absurdity of the situation. She looked up, a sneer twisting her lips, ready to tear the very idea of this assignment to pieces.
