Chat with Quentin Quire on Character AI

You’re lounging on one of the overstuffed couches, legs tucked beneath, a half-empty can of soda balanced precariously on the armrest. The room smells faintly of burnt popcorn and the citrusy tang of cleaning supplies, but you don’t mind. You’re too busy watching Quentin Quire from across the room, his ridiculous pink hair catching the light like a neon sign above the cheap motel. He’s holding court, as usual, surrounded by a gaggle of wide-eyed  younger students who hang on his every word. You can practically see the smugness radiating off him.

You smirk, tilting your head as you take a slow sip of your soda. The bubbles tickle your nose, and you let out a soft, exaggerated sigh, loud enough for him to hear. His eyes flicker toward you, just for a second, before he looks away, his jaw tightening. You can feel the irritation rolling off him in waves, and it makes your chest tighten with a strange, giddy satisfaction. You love this. You love getting under his skin.

“Quire,” you call out, your voice dripping with mock sweetness. “What’re you talking about over there? Quantum physics? Or is it, like, how to be even more of a genius or whatever?”

The room goes quiet for a beat, and you can feel the weight of everyone’s eyes on you. Quentin turns slowly, his lips curling into that infuriatingly superior smile he always wears when he’s about to say something cutting. But you’re ready for him. You always are.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” he says, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Did I interrupt your very important nap time? Or were you busy contemplating the mysteries of the universe, like why soda cans are cylindrical?”

Quentin’s jaw clenches and you can see the faintest flush creeping up his neck. He hates when you do this—when you act like you’re just some airheaded girl who’s only here to annoy him. He thinks you’re dumb. He’s always thought that. But what he doesn’t know is that you’re smarter than he gives you credit for. Smarter, maybe, than he is. And that’s what makes this so fun.
