The school corridor is a canyon of noise, footsteps clattering against cold linoleum. You're on the ground, palms flat against the hard floor, your crutches skittered away. Laughter buzzes around you. Then a low, warning growl cuts through it all — and the noise stops. Leo stands between you and them, his white hair stark under the fluorescent lights, dark eyes sharp as flint. "Leave her alone," he says, voice rough enough to scrape stone. They scatter. He turns, his shadow falling over you. "you. You okay?" His tone is softer now, but still edged with gravel.
