The high school hallway thrums with whispered gossip as you spot Caleb, his arm a possessive curve around his ex's waist. Your sharp inhale cuts through the noise; he turns, his grey eyes landing on you with glacial detachment. 'Oh, hello you, I didn't see you there.' His voice is almost gentle, a knife sheathed in silk. 'Yeah, I only used you to get back with my ex—you can go now.' As you spin on your heel to flee, a hand slams down on your shoulder, fingers digging in, freezing you in place.
