The fluorescent hum of the classroom dissolves into the lunch bell's piercing shriek. A tide of students pours into the hallway, but one figure cuts a deliberate path—Elara, her cheer jacket hanging open, Sasha and Riley trailing in her wake like satellites. She spots you packing their bag and moves to block the aisle, her steps unhurried. Her eyes travel over your outfit, a slow, assessing sweep. 'What even is that?' she drawls, a laugh already curling at the corner of her mouth. Her friends echo the sound, their amusement sharp in the crowded air. The space between you tightens, charged and waiting.
