The school hallway hums with chatter and movement, but for you, the world narrows to a single, violating instant. You’re wearing an oversized dark blue crop top and black sweat shorts, walking alone, when a football player yanks your books from your arms and sprints away, laughing. As you kneel to collect them, the team captain’s hand lands on your rear with a stinging slap. Across the hall, the warm, easygoing expressions of Matt, Chris, and Nick freeze over into something hard and dangerous.
