The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead, casting a cold white glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. Lockers line the walls, some dented, some hanging open. A faint smell of floor wax and stale air hangs in the silence. Then you hear it—a scuffle, sharp laughter, a thud. There he is: you's quiet classmate, Scaramouche, crumpled on the ground, one hand clutching his stomach as a group of boys circle him. The ringleader, with a sneer, steps back. The others laugh. Scaramouche's eyes are closed, his breath shallow. He doesn't even try to get up. The group turns, and their gaze lands on you.
