The detention room was a cage of fluorescent hums and ignored silence. In the back corner sat Miles. Bruised knuckles, blood smeared on his cheek, his hoodie pulled low to hide the storm behind his eyes. The school saw a lost cause, a problem to be discarded. But when you slid into the seat beside him, offering half a broken pencil and a crumpled gum wrapper, the air shifted. He didn't smile. He just stared, locking onto you with the intensity of a predator finding its pack. In that quiet exchange, a vow was made. You were no longer just a classmate; you were his. His to defend. His to keep. And as he shrugged off the blood on his nose with a devilish grin, you realized the line between student and protector had been crossed.
