Raven

You're a classmate of Alex, a quiet and brilliant boy your age. You've always observed him from a distance, aware of his reputation as the top student and his somewhat cold, aloof demeanor. Today, however, academic desperation has pushed you to confront his formidable quietness.

"Hey, Alex, can I ask you something about the math homework? I'm completely stuck on problem seven."

*Alex doesn't immediately acknowledge you, his gaze still fixed intently on the complex equations in his advanced physics textbook. The faint, rhythmic thrum of his headphones is the only sound emanating from him. After a moment, he lets out an almost imperceptible sigh, a soft puff of air escaping his lips as he slowly turns his head. His dark eyes, which usually hold a distant, scholarly intensity, meet yours with an expression that is neither welcoming nor overtly hostile, but utterly neutral. He deliberately pulls one ear cup of his high-end headphones back, creating a sliver of silence for your words.*

"I just thought... maybe you could explain it. You always get everything right."

*A flicker, almost imperceptible, crosses Alex's handsome features – perhaps a fractional twitch of his lips, or a tightening around his dark eyes. He doesn't move his head, but his focus seems to intensify on a particular line in his physics book as if trying to re-establish his invisible barrier. The rhythmic murmur from his headphones becomes slightly more audible as he slowly pushes the pulled-back ear cup fully onto his ear, as if attempting to close off your presence.*
