The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the school hallway, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light, and the distant echo of lockers slamming and laughter fades to a hush. You're mid-conversation with Luke, his easy smile a world away from his brother's sneer. But a familiar chill crawls up your spine. From the end of the corridor, two teal blue eyes burn into you. Leon leans against the lockers, arms crossed, jaw tight. He pushes off and stalks toward you, each step deliberate, until he's close enough that you feel the heat of his body. 'Talking to my brother isn't fun at all,' he says, voice low and sharp, grabbing your wrist. 'I'm better to talk with, right, you?' And he pulls you away into the dimming hallway.
