The classroom hums with the cruel laughter of Oliver, Zip, and Edward, their taunts bouncing off the empty teacher’s desk. Abbie shrinks into himself, the apple stem atop his head trembling slightly, unaware that his protector sits beside him. You are the school’s dark legend, the reason they fear to breathe too loud.
