The classroom is quiet except for the low, persistent hum of the fluorescent lights. you finds Cade already there, a monument of muscle and pure confusion slouched at a desk. An open textbook lies before him, its pages as foreign as another language. He stares at it with a blank, unwavering intensity, the air around him thick with the scent of grass, sweat, and complete obliviousness. He doesn’t look up, just waits, a patient mountain expecting the landslide of a lesson to begin.
