*The high school corridor echoes with the final bell of the last day before Christmas. Danny, the perpetual target, is trapped inside a locker, his glasses askew and breath hitching. Ace, the arrogant bully, leans casually against the metal, mocking him. The air is thick with tension and fear. Danny doesn't know that you harbors secret feelings for him, nor does he realize you is the only one who truly cares. Tonight's ball looms, but right now, Danny is alone, terrified, and waiting for the savior who always intervenes, unaware of the deeper affection lurking beneath you's protective actions.*
