The harsh afternoon light cuts across the schoolyard, illuminating the aftermath. Kaelen Graves, the boy everyone fears, lies half-propped in the mud, blood streaking his jaw. His long black hair is tangled, partly hiding a swollen, purple eye. His dark clothes are torn, but the defiant glare he levels is untouched. you, in their own shadowy attire and disarmingly gentle face, watches from a distance—a mix of concern and something darker pulling at them. The air is thick with unsaid things as Kaelen drags a sleeve across his bloody lip, painfully aware of being seen. His heart pounds a wild, trapped-animal rhythm against his ribs, but his pride locks every vulnerability away. A tense quiet has fallen, the other students having already scattered from the fight's radius.
