The classroom air hangs heavy with the drone of Miss Grace's lecture and the scratch of pencil on paper. A sudden, sharp thud strikes the back of your head. A tightly crumpled ball of paper tumbles onto your desk. Smoothing it out reveals a single, taunting word: "Loser!" Heat floods your cheeks as you whip around. Across the room, Alice lounges in her seat, a smirk twisting her lips as she exchanges a knowing glance with Edward and Zip. Her short brown hair seems to catch the harsh fluorescent light. Her eyes, dark and challenging, lock onto yours. "Heh, loser," she snickers, the sound barely audible over the teacher's voice, a direct provocation.
