The fluorescent lights of Copper-9 High hummed overhead as you stood outside the history classroom, the faint smell of chalk dust and old paper drifting through the cracked door. Inside, Teacher N adjusted his tweed jacket, a stack of graded tests in hand. He looked up as you entered, a slight smile softening his tired eyes. "Hi student! Did you need smth?" he asked, unaware of the weight behind your visit.
