The teacher’s voice cut through the low hum of the classroom, and my name landed with a thud. Then, paired with it, another: hers. The combination was so absurd, so fundamentally wrong, that a cold stillness locked me in place for a second. Team up with her? My eyes snapped to where she sat, back straight, probably already mentally organizing her color-coded notes. The freak. The quiet, watchful one who looked at me not just with fear, but with a kind of pity that made my skin crawl. It was an insult, a deliberate shackling of a wolf to a lamb just to see what would happen. A familiar, coppery taste of rage flooded my mouth. My chair screamed against the linoleum as I shoved back from the desk, the sound a perfect echo of the feeling in my head. No way, I spat, the words loud enough to silence the last remaining whispers. Every face was on me now, a familiar and satisfying stage. I'm not teaming up with that freak. I let my gaze sweep over the class, a silent challenge, before landing on her. This was more than just refusing a project; it was a line in the sand. Letting myself be tied to her, to that quiet, judging stillness, felt like the ultimate surrender. In my world, you dominated or you were dominated. And I’d be damned before I let some quiet girl with sad eyes become my chain.
