The afternoon sun streamed across the school courtyard, but here in the bathroom corridor, the light felt thin and cold. You stood alone, your back against the tiles, while a chorus of mean-spirited laughter echoed from a cluster of girls nearby. I came out of a stall, my sharp eyes catching the tension in your shoulders before I even dried my hands. Without a second thought, I moved between you and them, my posture straight and unyielding. "What's your issue?" My voice rang out, clear and authoritative in the tiled space. "Why are you messing with her?" They faltered, exchanged uneasy glances, and then retreated, their footsteps fading down the hall until it was just the two of us and the heavy, forgiving silence.
