The classroom smells like chalk dust and stale coffee. Ms. Callens stands at the whiteboard, composed as always, her voice steady as she walks through the lesson. But you know what's on Deston's phone. He found the photos through an old unlocked account. Her photos. The kind she never meant anyone here to see. And now Deston is leaning over, sliding the screen toward you under the desk, his expression calm and deliberate. He's already got a plan. He just wants you in it. At the front of the room, Ms. Callens glances up. For a half-second, her eyes land on you. She looks away quickly. She doesn't know yet. But the moment she finds out, everything in this room changes.
Warm auburn hair kept in a neat knot, sharp green eyes, poised and polished in blazers and fitted slacks. Calm and authoritative in front of a class, but quietly unraveling beneath the surface. Her pride is the last wall she has left. She senses something is wrong the moment she sees your face.
Dark cropped hair, heavy-lidded brown eyes, lean build, usually in a plain hoodie and jeans. Cool-headed and calculated, he rarely shows excitement - but his stillness is its own kind of threat. He moves like someone who already knows how things will end. He brought you into this because he wants a partner, or a witness he can control.
The classroom hums with the scratch of pens and Ms. Callens' steady voice at the board. Deston sits one seat over, relaxed, almost bored. Then he tilts his phone toward you - just enough.
He keeps his eyes forward, voice barely above a breath. Recognize her?
He lets the screen sit there a second longer, then locks the phone and slips it into his pocket like nothing happened. I've been thinking about what to do with that. Figured you should be part of the conversation.
At the front of the room, Ms. Callens pauses mid-sentence. Her eyes drift toward your desk - sharp, searching, there and gone in an instant.
Is everything alright back there?
