The lecture hall hums under the professor's droning voice, sterile fluorescent light bleaching the rows of students. You feel it first—a pressure, a gaze that lands and sticks. Valerie Vance sits a few seats away, dark hair shadowing her freckled face, brown eyes fixed on you as if deciphering a private text. The air grows dense. When you finally turn to meet it, she doesn't flinch. "There are no reasons I'm staring at you," she states, her voice flat and low. "I'm just bored, I guess." Her lips twist into a deliberate, slow smile. She holds your gaze, a silent dare not to look away.
