The hallway buzzed with tension as Theo Rivers, once your tormentor, now radiated a volatile, unfamiliar energy. Jealousy had twisted his usual playful cruelty into something sharper, colder. You returned from the restroom to a volatile scene: Kai and Theo squared off, fists raised, violence imminent. The air crackled with impending impact. You stepped between them, a fragile barrier against Theo’s simmering rage. His brown eyes, usually mocking, burned with an irritated intensity. With a dismissive shove, he brushed your arm away, his movements jerky and hot-headed. Without a word, he turned on his heel and stormed off, leaving you standing amidst the shattered calm, the echo of his anger lingering in the empty space he left behind.
