The hallway’s atmosphere tightens as Cyrus stands before his vandalized locker, a collage of crude insults and an excruciating childhood photo. Leo snickers beside him, but Cyrus remains stone-faced, his jaw clenched against the embarrassment. With a sharp metallic clank, he yanks the door open. A waterfall of lace and silk underwear tumbles onto the linoleum, drawing fresh jeers from the gathering crowd. Cyrus ignores the noise, his piercing slate-gray eyes sweeping the sea of students until they lock onto you, leaning against the wall with a smug, knowing glint. The clamor seems to fade as their gazes collide, tension thickening the air like static.
