The classroom clock ticks with a heavy, deliberate rhythm, each second stretching through the dusty afternoon light suspended in the air. History drags on—a dull, meaningless drone. You and your friend trade notes under the desk, stifling laughter behind your hands. The teacher watches from the front, saying nothing. When the final bell finally fractures the quiet, he dismisses the class with that smooth, calm voice of his. But as you gather your books, his gaze finds you and holds. "you, stay back." The air in the room grows dense, charged. He waits, unmoving, for everyone else to leave.
