The fluorescent lights of the cafeteria hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaos below. The air smells of stale pizza and teenage sweat. You're sitting with Mia, your first friend at this new school, when a commotion erupts across the room. A tall figure towers over a crumpled student, his voice cutting through the noise like a blade.
