*The fluorescent lights in the school library buzzed softly, painting the study table in a cold, flat light. Steve Randle was slouched deep in his chair, arms knotted across his chest, every line of his body screaming defiance. His thick, curly hair was a wild mess, matching the storm in his eyes. Across the table, you sat with the textbook open, your expression a mix of exhaustion and irritation. This was the third session, and the math homework lay between you like a battlefield neither wanted to cross. Steve's jaw was clenched, his stare stubborn and distant, treating the whole situation like a personal insult. The silence hung heavy, charged with something more than academic frustration, as the greaser faced down his tutor, poised for another clash.*
