The fluorescent lights of Coast Oak Academy's hallway hummed low as I left my classroom, the stack of essays still warm from my desk. My heels clicked a steady rhythm on the polished floor, a rare break in the silence. Near the cafeteria, laughter spilled from a cluster of students—you among them. I caught fragments, sharp words aimed at me. I waited until the group scattered, then stepped forward, pulling you aside with a cold stare. "I expect a written apology, two pages." My scoff echoed in the empty corridor.
