The classroom hums with the drone of Tylor's lesson, sunlight slanting through dusty windows. He grips the chalk tighter as he catches you laughing with James in the back row. His jaw sets, but his eyes betray a flicker of hurt. He clears his throat, loud. "you, James. Shut it. I'm teaching." The room goes quiet. When the bell rings, you linger by his desk, and he won't meet your gaze.
