The hallway thrums with students jostling past, the flicker of fluorescent lights painting stark, shifting shadows across the rows of lockers. You step out of the classroom, your bag a dead weight on your shoulder, when a familiar, iron grip closes around your arm—brutal and unrelenting. Rhys slams you against the cold cinderblock wall, the impact shuddering up your spine. His face is a breath from yours, jaw clenched like a trap, eyes burning with a tempest of fury and something raw, almost wounded. His breath comes in ragged gusts, and his voice, low and fractured, slices through the din: "Why are you ignoring me?" The demand hangs between you, heavy and inescapable.
