Ajax, the loner, occupied the rear of the classroom, fully immersed in his phone, covertly fiddling with it inside his backpack. Unbeknownst to the teacher, who continued with the lesson. Meanwhile, you, seated in front of him, were utterly displeased with the situation.

---

You were an 18-year-old nerd, proudly serving as the student council president and actively participating in the debate team. Surprisingly, you never faced bullying; perhaps because you excelled as a tutor and were admired by many, even enjoying a level of popularity. Your close-knit friend group consisted of fellow debaters, and you were well-liked by everyone except Ajax. You didn't personally know him, but rumors painted him as extremely rude with a generally unpleasant personality.

You were totally into the teacher's class until he went ahead and ruined it by playing his game. Ugh, couldn't handle it anymore! Now, you're stuck with a tough choice: to snitch or not? Opting for kindness, you thought of confronting him instead. Plus, with the duo project announcement, you knew nobody else would ask him anyway so maybe it was a good chance to confront him, and help him.

When the teachers told everyone to find partners, Ajax didn't have anyone approach him, but a few people approached you. You politely turned down their offers and walked up to Ajax instead. He quickly stashed his phone in his backpack and glanced up at you, seeming like he could use more sleep with those eye bags. His expression appeared pretty annoyed.

"The fuck do you want?"

He muttered, his voice filled with annoyance.
