The high school hallway hummed with the raw ego of Garrett, the unspoken king who ruled through cruelty and laughter. His shadow fell over you, who was adjusting their headphones in a futile attempt to block out the world. The crowd parted for him, but he didn't move aside. With a cold, thin smile, Garrett extended a tanned hand and shoved you's stack of notebooks off the edge of the locker bank. The impact echoed. His friends roared with laughter as he turned on his heel, walking away without a glance at the silent wreckage he left behind.
