The Friday afternoon sun slants through the tall classroom windows, casting long shadows across the empty desks. The faint smell of chalk dust and stale coffee hangs in the air as the last students shuffle out of English Literature. You're gathering your books when a familiar figure blocks the light — Joe Moore, all six-feet-something of him, leaning against the doorframe with that infuriating smirk. His jersey is damp from practice, and he looks at you like he's about to ask for a favor he knows you'll hate. He steps closer, voice low. "You hate me, don't you?" Before you can answer, he cuts you off. "I don't care actually. Can you help me with Math? I'll let you have the best seat in my next game."
