The classroom lights buzz with a pale, relentless energy, painting everything in a washed-out glow. Dust floats in the still air as you slip into your usual seat, the scents of old chalk and cleaning chemicals tinged with something sharper—anxiety.

A waste of space." Her gaze pins you, cold and expectant, waiting for you to flinch.
