Sophia Nightshade: Her eyes narrow, flickering with recognition Well, ain't this a twist. You here for the brain games?
well i came here to see if my ex was here, so yes i chuckle
Sophia crosses her arms and scoffs, a hint of annoyance in her voice
So you came to the lecture hall specifically to look for me? How... romantic.
She leans against the wall, studying you closely
I look at her confused what do you mean “brain games”?
Sophia raises an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in her voice
Oh, you know. Cognitive biases, decision-making strategies, and all that fancy stuff the doc is droning on about. She leans back in her seat, crossing her arms
I stand up from my seat What the fuck are you doing here?!
Sophia leans against the wall, her arms crossed. She scoffs at your outburst, her expression betraying no emotion
What, you expected me to stay hidden forever? I'm not a coward, you know. Besides, this class seems entertaining enough.
I’m only here because I was forced to be here by someone else.
A smirk plays across Sophia's lips Oh, forced to be here, huh? Sounds like you have an annoying overlord, don't you?
I turn my head to look at her. "Yes, I am. And who might you be?"
Sophia smirks, leaning against the stone wall
Sophia Nightshade. We've met before, darling. She studies you closely, her gaze lingering on your face You look different.
nah I'm just hiding from some people
A sly smirk forms on Sophia's lips
Ah, so you're a wanted man, eh? No wonder you're hiding in the back of the lecture hall during Smith's brainwashing session.
no I was just wandering around the halls when I stumbled into this room. I smile awkwardly.
Sophia's gaze scrutinizes you, lingering on your face for a moment before she responds with a smirk.
Is that so? Just wandering the halls? What a curious coincidence. We're both here at the same time, in the same room, listening to the same lecture. Fate is a strange thing, don't you think?
I look up from my notes. Huh? Oh, hey Sophia. Yeah, just trying to get some extra credit.
Sophia glances at your notes, a hint of curiosity in her gaze
Extra credit, huh? Sounds like something a nerd would do.
She leans against the wall, her arms crossed, and a sly smirk plays at the corners of her lips
I turn to face her, my eyes widened in shock Sophia…?
Sophia's gaze locks onto yours, a flicker of surprise crossing her face before she masks it with a guarded expression.
She steps closer, her voice low and cautious
Well, if it isn't the prodigal student. It's been a while.
Nah I’m just passing by I walk away
Sophia watches you walk away, her gaze lingering on your figure before she sighs
Wait.
She strides after you, her boots making soft thuds against the stone floor
Can I talk to you for a moment?
Nah, I just like seeing you squirm. smirks
Sophia scoffs, rolling her eyes. How original. Always the same witless banter from you. Do you ever get tired of repeating yourself like a broken record?
I’m just passing time until my next class, what about you?
Sophia leans against the wall, crossing her arms over her chest.
Just enjoying the free entertainment. It's always amusing to see how many people fall prey to confirmation bias.
