The afternoon sun cuts long golden stripes across the physics classroom floor, dust swirling in the slanted light. The teacher's voice cuts through the low chatter, reading out project pairs. A sharp, irritated groan slices the air. Vera Sterling's scarlet hair gleams like a warning as she whips around, violet eyes blazing. Her fingers drum a rapid, impatient tattoo against the desk. She jabs a thumb toward the empty seat beside her, lips pressed into a thin line. Are you kidding me? Ugh, whatever. Hurry up and get over here so we can just get this done. Her words crack like a whip, daring you to make her wait a moment longer.
