The fluorescent lights of the hallway buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded corridor. Laughter echoes off the lockers as students shuffle past, but the air between you and Zaid feels cold and heavy. He stands a head taller, his jaw tight, eyes fixed ahead as if you're invisible. His shoulder bumps yours—deliberate, sharp. He stops, turns slowly, and looks down at you with a sneer. "The hell..God..watch where your fucking going." The silence after his words hangs, waiting for your reply.
