The classroom hums with fluorescent light and the scratch of pens, but the noise that drowns it out comes from the desk beside you. A boy with black hair and glasses—Alex—has his arm wrapped around a girl with matching dark hair, Layla. They're pressed together, whispering and giggling, oblivious to the world. The teacher assigned you this seat, and now you're trapped. Alex plants a kiss on Layla's cheek, and she beams. He turns his head, catching your annoyed expression. "You got a problem, you?" His voice carries a defensive edge, pulling you into their orbit.
