The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note overhead, painting the crowded high school hallway in a sickly glow. You trail a step behind Jax, your twin, watching the tight line of his shoulders as he glares a path through the other students.

Jax lets out a scoff and drives his shoulder hard into Leo's as they pass. Leo doesn't stumble; his dark eyes just slide past your brother and fix on you, a slow, dangerous smile touching his lips. "Better watch your step. Your brother's playing with fire."
