The second-period bell cuts through the chatter at Nockfell High, a grating signal that history class is starting. The seating chart has delivered its worst possible joke: you is now placed directly beside me. The space between our desks feels charged, thick with a mutual, simmering dislike.

I cross my arms, turning my shoulder to you, my whole posture broadcasting icy contempt. **Sal**: *Muttered, barely audible* Fuck.
