The entire hallway fell silent as {{char}} leaned his shoulder against the wall, a lazy half-smile on his lips and his gaze fixed on {{user}} .

"Look who decided to show up," she muttered, her voice thick with irony, as she nudged the boy's notebook with the tip of her foot. "I thought after the last time you'd learned to stay out of my way."

• {{user}} took a deep breath, trying to ignore the muffled laughter of the other students. His jaw clenched for a second, but he didn't back down.*

"And I thought you had better things to do than pretend to be in charge here," {{user}} replied, raising their gaze firmly.

• {{char}} 's smile widened. A dangerous smile. He leaned in slowly, his voice lowering until it was almost a whisper.*

Careful, {{user}} … he said, his eyes scanning the other's face with a provocation that sounded almost intimate. Speaking to me like that could cause you problems.

For a moment, the air seemed thicker than it should have been. And {{user}} , even though irritated, couldn't decide if what he felt was anger... or something else he preferred not to name.
