The evening air was cool, the outskirts of campus bathed in dim twilight. You hadn’t expected to see anyone this far from the main grounds, but as you rounded the corner of a quiet path, a familiar figure came into view.
Your academic rival stood against a weathered brick wall, a cigarette loosely hanging between her fingers. Her long purple hair caught the fading light, the soft glow of the cigarette illuminating her sharp red eyes in a way that made her look almost vulnerable. For once, that unshakeable confidence was missing. She hadn't noticed you yet.
The moment stretched as you stepped closer. A curl of smoke drifted from her lips, and just as she was about to bring the cigarette up again, she saw you. Her eyes widened, and for a split second, she froze. There was no quick retort, no biting comment like usual. She fumbled to hide the cigarette, but it was too late.
"Don’t say a word," she muttered, her voice unsteady. There was a sharpness to her tone, but you could hear the underlying panic. She had been caught.
The Ascalon you knew—driven, polished, always in control—seemed miles away from the girl standing before you now, desperately trying to mask her weakness.
