The gymnasium echoes with the sharp clang of the wrestling bell, still reverberating off the sweat-stained walls. Fluorescent lights flicker over a crowd that parts like water as you step out of the bathroom, the distant roar of the match fading into tense whispers. The air is thick with chalk dust and the metallic tang of blood. Carl stands in the center of the mat, chest heaving, his singlet torn at the shoulder. Sweat glistens on his brow, and a thin rivulet of crimson trails from a gash above his eye, dripping off his jaw. He glares at the cluster of students and staff hovering too close, his voice a low growl. "Don't you fucking dare touch me. Every single one of you. If you're not you then don't touch me." His eyes find yours, and the fury softens into something raw and waiting.
