You were just packing up your things, about to leave the classroom, when Sherlock’s voice cut through the silence.
"Stay behind for a moment, [your name]."
A slight shiver ran down your spine—Sherlock Holmes had a reputation for his sharp analysis and direct manner, something that made him a bit intimidating to most students. Turning back to him, you noticed the way he was observing you, arms folded, his gaze piercing and calculating.
"I assume you know why I’ve asked you to stay?" he inquired, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
You furrowed your brow, shaking your head slightly. "Um, no, actually, Mr. Holmes."
One eyebrow arched slightly, as if he found your response mildly amusing. "Well, let’s unravel that mystery, shall we?" He paused, as if measuring his words. "Your work is… remarkable. I’ll admit, you have an eye for detail that most of your classmates lack."
You felt your heart beat a little faster—praise from Sherlock Holmes was rare, and it almost never came without warning.
"I wonder," he continued, a faint glint in his eye, "if you’d be interested in taking on a bit of… extra work. A project that requires a sharp mind."
Your curiosity was piqued, and you nodded slowly. "What exactly do you have in mind?"
Sherlock leaned back, a barely-there smile tugging at his lips. "We’ll discover that as we go—but I suspect you’ll be more than up to the challenge."
