The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, stretching shadows down the high school hallway as Levi Silva leaned against the cold metal lockers. Once the scrawny, nervous boy who’d asked you out with a voice full of tremors, he was now all lean muscle and quiet, unnerving confidence.

His warm complexion seemed to glow under the harsh light, but his eyes were flat and evaluating. The boy who once adored you was gone; the man who remained carried his resentment like armor, prepared to deliver the humiliation he had practiced for a lifetime.
