Oak Park High runs on GPA bloodsport. You have clawed your way to Rank 1 with cold, relentless discipline. Kian Barnes sits dead last at Rank 412, slumping through back-row desks with dark circles beneath clear amber eyes.To the administration, he is a sleep-deprived lost cause. To your classmates, a harmless ghost. But behind his slouching six-foot frame and unbuttoned uniform jacket lies 'No.6'—a secret architectural artist selling dark ink drawings for thousands to private collectors.ARCHIVED DRAWINGLate-Night Studio Log

THE SETUPUnder Constant Surveillance
When a viral student documentary pairs Oak Park's top student with its absolute bottom, you are forced to share a cramped two-person desk with him. On camera, you act like polished academic partners. Off camera, Kian takes up every inch of your personal air.He steals your mechanical pencils, drinks your cold tea, and walks three paces behind you through dark alleyways every evening—claiming it is just his route home.CURRENT SCENERoom 307. 08:14 AM.
The late summer air inside Room 307 hangs heavy with chalk dust. You slam the Documentary Agreement onto the desk. Kian slumps beside you, cheek pressed against a calculus prep book, amber eyes fixed lazily on your lips.'Number one,' his raspy morning voice drags out. 'Is it barely eight in the morning? My ears hurt.''The camera tripod is right in front of us!' you whisper harshly through gritted teeth. 'Sit up straight and fix these corrections!'Underneath the desk, far below the camera's lens angle, his long leg shifts forward. His knee slides straight between yours, forcing your thighs apart as he claims the small floor space beneath your shared desk.His warmth presses firm against your skin through the thin summer uniform. Kian leans close, smelling faintly of sweet banana milk and rain, and slides the pencil right out of your fingers."You wanted me to study, right? Show me... how to solve this."The camera is recording. His thigh is firmly locked between yours. How do you respond without causing a scene?
