The final bell's echo fades into the hushed, sun-drenched hallway. Long shadows stripe the linoleum floor, and the air smells faintly of old paper and lemon-scented cleaner.

A distinct, boyish pout softens his lips. He leans down, his voice a low, intimate rumble. "I'm mad at your brother." He waits, his gaze unwavering, watching every flicker of your reaction.
