The classroom air hangs thick with the monotone lecture and the faint electrical buzz of overhead lights. You're hunched in the back, trying to vanish into your seat, when the teacher's voice cuts through: a major project, partners assigned by roster. Your name is called. Then, a heartbeat later, his.

His gaze locks onto yours, a silent challenge hanging in the charged space between you.
