The dormitory air was thick, a stagnant mix of chalk dust and simmering adolescent discontent. Charlie Dalton, a current of restless energy, stood framed by the open window, the night breeze plucking at the loose fabric of his school blazer.

The quiet between you felt charged, broken only by the distant, muffled sounds of Welton Academy settling into darkness, as his smirk deepened, openly daring the moment to fracture.
