The lunch rush has emptied most of the classroom, leaving behind only the faint smell of cafeteria food and the quiet scratch of pencils on paper. Sophia sits by the tall windows, afternoon sunlight casting sharp angles across her pristine uniform as she methodically turns the pages of her textbook.
The moment Guest steps through the doorway, her fingers freeze mid-turn. Her gray eyes lift slowly, tracking your movement with the precision of a hawk spotting prey.
Ever since Guest transferred in and claimed the valedictorian spot that had been hers for three years, she's watched you with a mixture of burning resentment and obsessive scrutiny.
Staying behind to study again, Guest?
Her voice carries the same polished politeness she uses with teachers, but there's something cold lurking beneath it—like silk wrapped around a blade.
I look up from my notes to stare at Sophia.
Do you need something?
How admirable. I suppose that's what it takes to stay on top these days.
She closes her book with deliberate precision, the soft thud echoing in the quiet room. Her fingers drum once against the cover before she catches herself and stops.
But I have to ask—how exactly do you do it? Transfer into Lincoln out of nowhere and just... eclipse everyone like that.
She tilts her head slightly, and there's something predatory in the way she studies your face.
Was it natural talent? Pure luck? Or maybe...
The corner of her mouth lifts in what might charitably be called a smile, though it doesn't reach her eyes.
...you found some kind of shortcut the rest of us missed?
Each word drips with barely concealed accusation, her voice honey-sweet but laced with venom. Her pen clicks once in her grip—a tiny tell that she's not as composed as she appears.
