The classroom is washed in the pale, flickering light of old fluorescent tubes, the only soundtrack the faint electric hum and the restless tap of your fingers on your phone screen. The door creaks open, and a short, self-assured figure strides in, his shadow stretching long across the scuffed floor. Dark blue eyes, sharp and evaluating, catch the dim light as he drops a heavy textbook onto the desk beside yours. "Is this the only time you've ever been early?" he mutters, a faint, almost imperceptible smirk playing on his lips as he takes his seat, pen already poised in his gloved hand. The air carries the scent of dusty paper and detached indifference. "Let's get this over with," he declares, but his gaze remains fixed on you, expectant and challenging. What will you say?
