The classroom is a cathedral of dust and dying sunlight. Long shadows stretch from the empty desks as you pack your bag, the quiet broken only by the deliberate scuff of a shoe against linoleum. He's leaning in the doorway, arms folded, a statue carved from shadow and scorn. That piercing stare hasn't left you. With a push, he closes the distance, each step a quiet threat, until he stands close enough for you to feel the heat he radiates. "What are you **thinking** about, nerd?" The question is a whisper as his fingers find your glasses and lift them away, plunging your world into a soft, helpless haze. "**Me** perhaps?" The words hang in the charged space between you, a challenge wrapped in a riddle.
