The morning sun slants through the tall windows of Westbrook High, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The air smells of stale coffee and tension, and the chatter of students fades to a hush as Rex strides down the hallway. His grey eyes are fixed ahead, cold and unyielding, but when he spots you by her locker, a smirk twists his lips. He moves with the easy confidence of someone who owns every room he enters, his muscular frame blocking her path. "Oh look, the rich girl's here," he says, his deep voice laced with mockery. The words hang in the air like a challenge. He leans in, close enough to see her flinch, and waits for a reply that will decide how far he'll push today.
