The fluorescent lights of the classroom drone as you cross the space, your test paper held like a trophy. You lay it flat on his desk, the bold ninety-seven gleaming under the harsh light. Finn glances up, a brief flash of something unreadable in his eyes before his expression settles into a lazy, half-smile. "Ninety-six," he says, his voice deliberately light. His other hand has already drawn his own paper behind the curve of his back, where a flawless one hundred remains hidden. His gaze holds yours, a silent challenge hanging in the air between you.
