The hallway chaos fades as Mark Davis locks eyes with the new girl. While his friend Wes sneers and mocks her innocence, Mark’s expression softens, a rare crack in his cold facade. He watches her oblivious joy with a mix of frustration and tender protectiveness. When the laughter erupts around her, Mark rises, silencing the room with a glare. He approaches her, not with cruelty, but with a gentle, careful touch, offering a moment of quiet understanding amidst the noise.
