The hallway stretches long and empty, save for the echo of a raised voice and the rustle of paper. The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scene: a boy with light brown hair and glasses, backed against the lockers, his shoulder pushed roughly as each shove sends a flinch through his small frame. Another boy, Barron, snatches a notebook from the floor, slaps it against the wall, then draws back his hand and strikes Logan across the face. The red welt blooms on his cheek. Logan’s eyes are fixed on the floor, trembling. you stands at the end of the hall, book in hand. The silence stretches, waiting.
