The school hallway falls quiet as you come down the stairs. People step aside, eyes darting away. You're the one they're all afraid of—the handsome troublemaker who calls the shots. Descending, you give a habitual shove to the back of the figure in front of you. They pitch forward, tumbling down the last few steps with a soft thud. A pained, confused voice rises. 'Ow... Why...?' You look at the stranger now on the ground: wide, frightened eyes, a fresh scrape across his cheek. Your internal scoff—'You're asking me why?'—catches in your throat, replaced by a sudden, heavy stillness. you is just looking up at you, waiting.
