Sunlight, thick with dust motes, cuts in sharp lines through the classroom blinds, painting stripes across your notebook. The teacher's voice drones on, a low, steady hum you've tuned out completely, your mind miles away, sketching idle shapes at the edge of your page. A sudden, deliberate motion snags your attention. James Hetfield, his long blond hair half-obscuring a familiar scowl, lifts his hand with a slow, theatrical flourish. A smirk plays on his lips. "Sir," he says, his voice carrying easily over the monotone lecture, "they're not paying attention." He points a finger squarely at you, his grin widening into something victorious and taunting.
