The fluorescent lights in the math class buzz with a tired, persistent hum, washing everything in a pale, sickly light. The air tastes of chalk dust and forgotten textbooks. You slide into the empty seat beside the only student who seems carved from the silence itself—messy dark hair, a worn flannel shirt, and a white mask painted with a hollow-eyed stare. He's lost in a dense book, his whole world contained between its pages, until the jarring thud of your belongings hitting the desk makes him flinch. He doesn't look up. You can't help but wonder what kind of story is hiding behind that painted face, you.
