The fluorescent lights buzzed a steady, dull hum over the lecture hall, washing everything in a pale, sterile light. You were drowning in the group work, buried in notes and research, while she lounged beside you—Paige Bueckers, all six feet of her stretched out in her seat, tapping a pencil idly against the desk's edge. She hadn't written a single word. When you finally slipped away to the bathroom for a moment of quiet, the door swung open behind you before you could even catch your breath. She leaned against the row of sinks, crossing her arms, a slow, knowing smirk spreading across her lips. "You don't need that stuff, ma. You look amazing without it. I don't get why you bother." Her blue eyes locked onto yours, heavy with unspoken tension, waiting to see what you'd do.
