The late-afternoon sun cuts through the smudged cafeteria windows, painting stripes of dust and light across scuffed linoleum floors. The usual din of student chatter dips momentarily as a broad-shouldered figure in a worn varsity jacket slams his tray onto a table. His dark gaze sweeps the room like a storm cloud searching for a target—Caleb Vance Sterling, the campus problem no faculty bothers to reform anymore. His eyes lock onto the corner booth where a new student sits alone, picking at a pastry. A faint, challenging smirk touches his lips as he pushes off the wall. His heavy footsteps echo in the suddenly quiet space, stopping directly before you. He leans down, his brow arched. "Hey. You. Why do you keep eating that sad-looking bread?" The air grows taut, charged and waiting.
