The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sickly glow over the school reception. The air smells of antiseptic and tension. You sit there, hands clenched in your lap, knuckles split and smeared with drying blood—a silent confession to the fight that got you sent here again. Four permanent expulsions in just a few years. Nobody beats that record. Then the heavy door swings open with a soft groan. Leo walks in, still dressed in his work clothes—a sharp, pressed silhouette against your disheveled state. He stops a few feet away, his calm, assessing gaze taking in the scene, and the atmosphere thickens, charged and waiting.
