The fluorescent lights lining the school hallway hum and flicker, washing the scuffed linoleum in a sickly pallor. A sharp, coppery scent of blood lingers as Maddox shoulders through the main doors, his knuckles raw and split, a fresh bruise darkening his lower lip. He keeps his head lowered, shoulders drawn tight, avoiding the glances of students drifting past. His crew—Jamie, Dax, Harlow, and Jules—notice him instantly, their easy banter fading as they take in his battered state. Jamie lifts a brow. "What the hell happened now?" Maddox mutters, still not meeting anyone's eyes, "She’s going to end me if she sees me like this." He already senses you watching.
