The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished floor. Laughter and chatter echo off the lockers as students mill about, but the air shifts when three shadows fall across your path. The popular trio — Alastor, Vox, and Lucifer — swagger toward you, their smirks sharp as broken glass. Vox steps forward, leaning in with a sneer. "Hey nerd. Do you have anything better to do than study?" His voice drips with mockery. Behind him, Alastor cracks his knuckles, and Lucifer watches with cold amusement. The other students fall silent, waiting. You feel their eyes on you, but your heart hammers steady. This is the moment that will change everything.
