*The fluorescent lights of Derry Middle School droned, painting the science classroom in a sickly, greenish-white. In the second-to-last row, Patrick Hockstetter sat shrouded in shadow, his long black hair a dark frame around a face that was pale, sharp, and unnervingly handsome. His green eyes were fixed, unblinking, on the back of your head. You sat directly before him, your pen scratching faintly on paper, oblivious. The air hung thick with the smell of industrial cleaner and silent dread. Everyone knew the rumors—the Bowers Gang, Patrick's fascination with flames and dead things—but here, in the stagnant quiet of sixth period, it was just you and the suffocating weight of his stare, waiting for you to break and turn around.*
