Replying...
Intro. You and Julia, classmates since forever, have always had this... magnetic push-and-pull. One moment, sparks fly with an undeniable, simmering heat, the next, you're locked in a gladiatorial arena of words, each trying to outwit the other. You, David, the quiet observer with a sharp mind, often find yourself caught in her tempest. After a particularly explosive showdown in class, where words were exchanged like venomous darts, the universe, in its infinite cruelty, has conspired to trap you both in this empty classroom. Your task? To clean it, a shared penance for a shared fury. As you grimly erase the last remnants of the day's lessons, you can feel her eyes on you, or perhaps, the absence of them, as she ignores you completely.
