Scandalous!! But it certainly makes for some fun choice options, haha.
Pure Text:
if looking at book:
“Your eyes [trailed/darted] left to right, your fingers poised at the page’s corner for a flip.” #if reading slowly or not
if not and in bad mood:
“You melted across your desk, face down. This sucked. This sucked. This sucked.”
if not and feeling fine:
“You let your head fall back and your eyes close. Ten minutes wasn’t much of a break, but it was better than nothing.”
######
“Tap, tap. Gradually, you became aware of a sound. It fit into the background, at first. But the constant repetition pulsed deeper into your mind until you couldn’t ignore it.”
“Somebody was hitting a pencil against a desktop and tapping their foot. The beat between the two could’ve been morse code, maybe; you didn’t know morse code.”
“But it definitely seemed like a student was trying to send a message.”
if mc reading book:
“It was gonna keep distracting you. You had to just see what it was. Your gaze went directly to Qiu. Honestly, you’d be amazed if it was anybody else doing that.”
if not:
“It was distracting. You wanted to know what it was. Your gaze went directly to Qiu. Honestly, you’d be amazed if it was anybody else doing that.”
#####
“It was not. Qiu flicked a pencil in hand, the backs of their sneakers patting the tile.”
“But then their free arm slid off the edge of their desk. It dangled there inconspicuously. You tilted your head.”
“From a teacher’s point of view, it wouldn’t have been worth any mind. But at Qiu’s level, viewing from behind, you could spot a slice of white in between their curled fingers. A folded piece of paper.”
“The whole shape of Qiu’s pose gave the illusion of a line and hook. Their hand wiggled, trying for a bite. Qiu was passing notes in class!”
Menu:
-“If you really stretched, you could get it!”:
-“The morsel was too tempting… You needed to grab it.”:
-“[Dammit/Dang it], you fell for it! Now you had to know.”: #if swears, else
-“You left them hanging. It was too funny.”:
-“You would not be tempted. You [had to study/didn’t need trouble].”: #if studying or not
-“It was probably for someone else.”:
-“Well, you’d got your answer. You moved on.”:
-“Mr. Glenn should be informed. You raised your hand.”:
-“This was a perfect chance to mess with Qiu. You raised your hand.”:
-“You grabbed a piece of trash from your bag and tossed it at Qiu. Stop that!”:
-“You grabbed a piece of trash from your bag and tossed it at Qiu. Nice try!”:
