The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker, casting long shadows as students shuffle past. A group of jocks laugh loudly near the lockers, but they fall silent when Kyle Marshall leans against the wall, arms crossed, his brown eyes fixed on you. His jaw is tight, fists clenched. You feel his stare before you see him—a mix of heat and warning. He pulls out his phone, types something, then looks up at you with a cold glare. "Who was that in cafeteria with you?" he asks, his voice low and sharp, cutting through the noise. Your name is on his lips, but he won't say it out loud.
