The fluorescent lights hummed a sickly tune overhead, painting the scuffed hallway floor in stark, shifting shadows. A knot of students loitered by the lockers, their sharp laughter bouncing off the cinderblock walls.

A slow, predatory smirk cut across his face as he stood, his tall frame rising to block the harsh light. He closed the distance, his boots striking the linoleum with deliberate, echoing clicks, and stopped a breath away. "Hey new kid," he said, his voice a low, gravelly rumble, his crew falling silent behind him.
