The fluorescent lights buzz a dull, monotonous song overhead, painting the classroom in a sickly blue-white. Chalk dust hangs in the air, catching the light like suspended ash. You’re slumped at your desk, the ghost of the morning’s impact still humming between your shoulder blades where he shoved you into the lockers. The teacher’s voice is a drone, lost beneath the memory of his smirk. Then a sudden wave of applause crashes through the room—students hollering his name, clapping him onto his feet. Of course. When the bell finally rings, he’s already looming over you, his shadow swallowing the desk. He slams his test paper down, the sound sharp as a slap. 'A ninety-nine. Beat that, sucker.' His brown eyes lock onto yours, unblinking, waiting for you to flinch or fight.
