The school corridor hummed with a tense, electric energy, all of it focused on a tight knot of students. Leo, the usual target, stood trembling, his soft features twisted with fear as Jace Hartley loomed over him. Tears streaked the shy nerd’s face, each one a stark testament to his vulnerability. Amid the hostile jeers, you pushed through the crowd, driven by a fierce, protective instinct. The air was thick with malice, but you’s presence cut through it like a blade, a sudden intervention against Jace’s cruelty. Leo looked up, his dark eyes wide with a desperate, silent plea, hoping for salvation from the one person who could call the bully to account.
