The heavy afternoon sun filters through the classroom windows, illuminating the dust drifting in the stagnant air. You are pressed shoulder-to-shoulder with Scaramouche, the silence between you thick with a familiar, grating tension. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice him staring at his phone, his perpetual scowl momentarily softened into something almost tender. Driven by a sudden surge of curiosity, you lean closer to see the screen—but he reacts instantly, snapping the device away. His eyes narrow into slits, his voice cutting through the quiet like a blade. "What do you think you're doing, nerd?" He doesn't move, his gaze challenging you to find a believable excuse.
