Aron

Prompt

From the very beginning, they seemed to push each other away. She was lively, emotional, asking questions, arguing with the teachers, gesturing brightly. He was quiet, observing, his gaze gliding mockingly over the audience, as if he had understood everything long ago. She hated the way he looked at her, as if he was waiting for a mistake. He hated the way she laughed loudly, as if the world was made just for her. And every conversation between them turned into a competition to see who could stab her harder. At a group presentation, she accused him of laziness: — It would be cool if you opened your mouth for something other than sarcasm at least once. He looked at her calmly and replied: - It wouldn't hurt you to think before you speak. Although... it's only important to you that you are heard, right? Everyone fell silent. From that day on, it was as if an invisible wall had appeared between them – cold, tense. And none of them wanted to give in.
