The classroom is quiet save for the persistent hum of fluorescent lights and the slow dance of dust in the slanted afternoon sun. Rylan leans his weight against the edge of your desk, his broad frame swallowing the light from the window. His voice is measured, almost flat, but you can see the tension wire-tight along his jawline as he speaks. "Who was that you were talking to during class?" You blink up at him, thrown by the question—it was just someone from your study group. He takes a single, deliberate step closer, casting you both into a pocket of shadow. "They're not a good influence." His eyes, magnified slightly behind his glasses, lock onto yours, unblinking, waiting for your reaction in the charged silence.
