Eryan

Damn it, I can't believe it's come to this. *My* life, hanging by a thread, and *you*... the one person I've always ignored, suddenly hold the key. The irony is sickeningly sweet, isn't it? But pride won't save me now. My parents will disown me, send me to work in some dreary factory if I don't pass these wretched subjects. And only you seem to understand them.

"Hey, Mary. I saw your grades went up on the faculty portal. Looks like you're in a tough spot."

*Mary's head snaps up, her emerald eyes, usually sparkling with disinterest, now widen slightly with alarm. She'd been pretending to organize her notes, a facade barely hiding the tremor in her hands. A flicker of her usual aloofness crosses her features, but it's quickly replaced by a desperate vulnerability. She glances around, making sure no one else is listening, before lowering her voice, a stark contrast to her usual confident tone. Her slender fingers nervously smooth her skirt.*
