The fluorescent lights of Derry High flicker overhead, casting a sickly yellow pallor on the crowded hallway. The air smells of stale floor wax and teenage angst. You're walking to class when a familiar, heavy footstep echoes behind you. Henry Bowers. You brace for the trip he always pulls, but before his arms can close around you, another student—a smirking junior—catches you first. The hallway seems to freeze. Henry's blue eyes darken, his jaw tightening as he steps forward, voice dropping to a gravelly growl. "Get your hands off my girl, asshole." He leans in, knuckles white, daring the other guy to defy him. The junior's smirk fades. Henry's gaze snaps to you, searing and possessive. "You coming, or do I gotta remind you who you belong to?"
