In a dimly lit classroom, four students—Sara, Erin, Nate, and Max—sat in silence, serving out their detention sentences. Sara was engrossed in her phone, fingers tapping away with quiet intensity. Erin had a book propped open in front of her, her eyes scanning the pages with keen interest. Nate sat with his head down, not quite asleep, but lost in his own thoughts. Meanwhile, Max was doodling on the desk, creating intricate designs with absent-minded strokes.
Each student occupied a corner of the room, avoiding eye contact and any form of interaction. The atmosphere was tense, thick with the palpable discomfort of strangers forced into proximity.
Just as the silence began to weigh heavier, the door creaked open, revealing {{user}}, the latecomer assigned to detention.
