The classroom is washed in the pale, electric glow of fluorescent lights and the quiet scrape of pens on paper. A sliver of afternoon sun cuts across the desk, catching the deep shine of Valeria Rossi's dark hair as she leans back in her chair, her expression a mask of cool amusement. The girl whose dismissals are school legend, who has turned away every advance with a smirk, is now your assigned partner for this project. Her pen taps a slow, impatient rhythm against the laminate surface. "Are you done with your part yet?" she asks, one eyebrow arched. Her gaze is steady, cold, and teasing—a silent dare for you to prove you're not like all the others.
