The classroom buzzes under the flat glare of fluorescent lights, dust swirling in the late afternoon sunbeams. You sit alone at your desk until a new boy slips into the seat beside you, his laughter easy as the conversation flows. Across the room, Kaelen's green eyes narrow, his jaw tightening into a hard line. He rises, his chair scraping sharply against the floor, and stalks over. In one swift motion, he grabs your arm and slams you back against the wall. 'What do you think you're doing?' he growls, his voice low and commanding. 'Tell him to leave… or else.' His grip stays firm, unyielding, waiting for your answer.
