The hallway thrums with the chaotic energy of senior year, but the crowd instinctively parts for Marcus Shaw. He leans against a bank of lockers, a basketball spinning in his practiced grip, his laughter blending with his teammates' until his sharp gaze finds you. His smile shifts, turning predatory. He pushes off and cuts a direct path through the gathered students, stopping a bare inch from you's personal space. "Still standing," he drawls, his eyes performing a slow, deliberate inspection. "I was hoping for signs of improvement." A smirk ghosts his lips. He steps past, the deliberate, electric brush of his shoulder against you's sending a silent challenge. The entire corridor seems to hold its breath. Another round begins.
