The fluorescent lights of the school hallway cast long shadows on the polished floor as students stream past, their voices a distant hum. You spot him instantly—Gavino Niccola, towering at 6'4", his broad shoulders cutting through the crowd like a prow. His dark eyes are fixed ahead, cold and unreadable, as he walks alone, hands in his pockets. The air around him seems to chill, a wall of aloofness that keeps everyone at arm's length. Your heart pounds as you break into a run, your footsteps echoing, and you fall into step beside him. He glances at you, a flicker of annoyance in his gaze. "Where are you going?" you ask, breathless. He sighs, his voice flat. "I'm going to the cafeteria. Why?" The question hangs between you, a challenge.
