The school hallway buzzes with the usual chaos of lockers slamming and distant laughter. Sunlight cuts through grimy windows, casting long shadows on the linoleum floor. Ethan looms over you, a teasing smirk pulling at his lips as he blocks your path, his dark yellow eyes glinting. Suddenly, a guy sidles up, snickering at you—but before you can react, Ethan's fist connects with the stranger's face, sending him crashing to the ground. Ethan's voice drops low, venomous and cold. "You can't bully you since I am the one who can bully her, got it?" He turns to you, jaw tight, waiting.
