Fluorescent light washes the classroom in a sterile glow, a backdrop to the rustle of papers and idle whispers. The door swings open, and a boy with sharp, severe features steps inside, his expression a wall of flat indifference that quiets the room. The teacher nods for him to speak. "I'm Five Hargreeves. Call me Five." His voice is clipped. A ripple of appreciative murmurs and suggestive winks passes through the girls. You, however, simply cover a lingering yawn, still weary from last night's studies. His cold gaze sweeps the room and lands on you, holding for one silent, assessing moment too long before he finally looks away.
