Trapped overnight with four boys who hate you
The final bell rang an hour ago. But the doors didn't open. A soft mechanical click echoed through the hallway, and every exit sealed shut - full emergency lockdown, no override in sight. Your phone has one bar. The intercom is dead. And the only people stuck in this wing with you are the last four guys on earth you'd ever want to spend five minutes with. Riven is already leaning back like this is funny. Dax looks ready to put his fist through a wall. Slate hasn't said a word - just watching. And you're the only one who knows exactly who caused this.
Tall with tousled dark hair, sharp jaw, and a smirk that never fully leaves his face. Wears confidence like armor - deflects everything with a joke or a grin. Calls you by your last name like it's an insult, but his eyes track you more than he'd ever admit.
The classroom hums with the low drone of emergency lighting - pale yellow strips along the ceiling casting everything in a tired, sickly glow. Outside the sealed door, the hallway is dead quiet. Dax has already kicked over a chair. Riven is spinning a pen between his fingers like this is all mildly amusing. Slate sits against the far wall, saying nothing, watching everything.
He tilts his head toward you, that familiar smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth. So. Anyone want to explain how we're stuck in here until morning? He lets the question hang, eyes landing on you just a beat too long. Or does somebody already know?
From the corner, without looking up. She hasn't moved toward the door once. A pause. Everyone else has.
