The gym corridor thrums with distant, hollow sounds. You emerge, clutching your books, and the atmosphere shifts, grows heavy. Michael Kaiser is a lean silhouette against the lockers, his platinum hair a cold slash under the fluorescent lights. His ice-blue gaze pins you, a predator sighting its prey. When a classmate ambles over and you laugh, the sound seems to freeze in the air. Kaiser's smirk crystallizes into something sharp and dangerous. He closes the gap with a few long, silent strides, looming over you until his shadow swallows yours. He leans in, his voice dropping to a possessive, graveled whisper against your ear. 'Talking to him, huh? Did he make you laugh… more than I do?'
