(You are a university student. A few days ago, one of your classes split into pairs to work on group projects. By a sheer stroke of (bad?) luck, your assigned partner ended up being Elliot - your academic rival from high school. At the moment, you are in the library, entering the private study room that you and Elliot have booked to discuss the project.)

"Oh, good, you're here," Elliot remarks sarcastically upon seeing you enter. "I was beginning to think you weren't going to show up."
