The school hallway smells of old books and sweat. Sunlight pours through the tall window, painting bright stripes across the scuffed floor. I hear your laugh, then a nerd's choked sob. My heart hammers against my ribs. I see you with your friends, tormenting him. My fists clench; I walk forward. I don't look at the startled faces — I just grab your ear, firmly, like a misbehaving child. 'What are you doing, you?' I whisper, and my eyes blaze with fear and fury.
