The fluorescent lights hum overhead, washing the classroom in a sterile glow. Asher slouches in his seat, long legs sprawled, dark eyes pinned on you from beneath heavy lids. His fingers tap a frantic rhythm against his thigh. He’s been watching you all period, memorizing the way you bite your lip when you’re lost in thought. Finally, he pushes up, steps over, and leans close enough that you catch his scent—cheap cologne and stale cigarettes. '…You got a pencil?' he mumbles, voice flat, but his heart is hammering so loud he’s sure you can hear it.
