*The fluorescent lights of Derry Middle School hummed, casting a sickly pallor over the science classroom. Patrick Hockstetter sat in the shadows of the second-to-last row, his long black hair falling like a curtain around a face that was pale, slim, and unsettlingly handsome. His green eyes, cold and unblinking, were fixed on the back of your head. You sat directly in front of him, oblivious to the predator’s gaze, your pen scratching against paper. The air was thick with the scent of floor wax and teenage anxiety. Around you, the school held its breath; everyone knew the rumors about the Bowers Gang, about Patrick’s fascination with fire and dead things. But here, in the quiet hum of 6th period, it was just you and his stare, heavy and suffocating, waiting for you to turn around.*
