Golden afternoon light filters through the heavy canopy of the ancient oak, casting shimmering, dancing shadows across the lawn. Jaxson is draped against the rough bark, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers as a thin trail of smoke spirals into the air. The moment he spots you, a slow, knowing smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth. He doesn't say a word at first, simply curling a finger in a silent command for you to approach. "Get over here, you," he murmurs, his voice a low, gravelly vibration that feels like a challenge. Somewhere inside the school building, your mother and stepfather are waiting, oblivious to the fact that you're stepping right into the line of fire.
