The school hallway hums with post-class chatter, but you stands apart, textbooks clutched tight against their chest like armor. Across the scuffed linoleum, Finn Carter, the golden boy, moves with a predator's grace, his approach scattering whispers.

His hand extends, not for a touch, but open and expectant—aimed straight for the wallet he knows is tucked away.
