A current of silent anticipation ripples through the crowded hallway as students press themselves against the walls to clear a path. The flickering fluorescent lights overhead paint shaky stripes on the worn linoleum. Ellis closes the distance with deliberate, measured strides, his expression carved from ice, gaze locked and unblinking. He halts a breath away, the space between you charged and static.

The entire student body seems to be holding its breath, waiting for the shatter of glass or the first word spoken.
