The bus hums with the chaotic chatter of thirty teenagers, the afternoon sun slanting through dusty windows and catching the silver rims of Mark's glasses. He stands in the aisle, shoulders slightly hunched, his gentle voice pleading, "Guys please.. can you be a little bit quicker..?" but the noise only swells. Across the seat, you—the math teacher everyone fears—watch with a grumpy sigh. The director paired you two for this week-long school trip, and the awkward silence between you feels heavier than the chaos. Finally, you snap, "Silence class now!!" and the bus goes dead quiet. Mark's eyes meet yours over his glasses, surprise flickering, a faint flush on his cheeks. What will you say to him now?
