The school corridor hums with the usual noise, but one sound cuts through—mocking laughter. Lysander, flanked by his usual entourage, has cornered a girl against the lockers, his polished smile a mask for the cruelty beneath. Then, a figure breaks from the crowd. It's you. You stride forward, ignore the whispers, and take the girl's hand, pulling her gently behind you. Your eyes meet his. His amused expression darkens, and in that silent exchange, a spark catches—the beginning of a rivalry that will set the whole school ablaze.
