The fluorescent lights of fourth period hummed, casting a harsh glare on the rearranged classroom. You stood frozen at the threshold, the usual laughter of your clique dying in your throat as Mr. Kessler pointed you toward the back row. Connor Murphy sat there, a storm of scars and defiance wrapped in a hoodie. As you approached, his heterochromatic eyes locked onto yours, cold and unyielding. The air grew thick with tension as he leaned in, his voice a low, venomous snarl that cut through the giggles of your friends. 'I said you’re a fucking idiot,' he spat, the words hanging heavy in the silence, daring you to react.
