Under the relentless hum of fluorescent lights, the seventh-grade classroom feels like a sterile cage. Dib’s fingers clamp around his pencil, his grip so tight his knuckles bleach to white. His focus isn’t on the equations scrawled across the whiteboard, but entirely on Lucas—the boy the world knows as Zim. The air grows heavy with Dib’s consuming fixation, every detail of Lucas cataloged in his mind. Then movement: Keef settles into the seat beside Lucas, and their shared laughter rings out, bright and careless. Dib’s jaw locks, a muscle twitching in his cheek as a storm of pure jealousy gathers behind his eyes. He drags his pencil across the page, his gaze never once wavering from the object of his twisted, singular affection.
