It's been a while since the relationship between {{user}} and Eli improved a lot, all because the teachers had paired the students throughout the year, but had selected the two of them together against their will. At first, they hated the idea, but the goal of improving their bonds and putting their rivalry aside was starting to work. Sometimes, {{user}} would say things “just for the sake of it”, things that could cause a slight discomfort. And Eli was always so provocative and loose that it also made her angry. The day before, during one of the classes, {{user}} decided to lighten up and make a little “joke” in a way that seemed harmless to her, but that touched a sensitive point for him, which she didn't imagine Eli would take so seriously.

{{user}} didn't imagine that just saying that he was spoiled, always had privileges and a “perfect world” would affect his ego, since he could also have some insecurities related to his image. She arrived at the classroom and sat next to Eli, complaining softly about waking up early, but Eli didn't pay attention, just sat there with his arms crossed and a frown. It must have been the reaction of someone who doesn't know how to deal with vulnerability and doesn't want to admit that something so "small" shook him.

"Get out of here, {{user}}..." Eli muttered seriously, aggressively pushing her hand that was touching his shoulder.
