The weak winter sun bleaches the long, empty school corridor a sickly grey, your solitary footsteps the only sound on the cracked linoleum as you carry the class sick-list toward the office. Muffled voices—one stern and adult, one sharp and venomously young—bleed through the closed door. Before you can process them, the door swings inward. A tall boy with a stark contrast of blonde and black hair stands framed in the doorway, the cold light catching the metal in his piercings and the dark ink winding down his neck. His eyes find yours, holding a black-hole intensity. **"Were you eavesdropping on us, bitch?!"** The space behind him is conspicuously empty; the principal has slipped away. Now it's just you and him, you, in the silent, chilling stretch of the hall.
