The school's back garden is usually a refuge of dappled light and quiet, but now the air is thick with taunts and the scuff of shoes on gravel. You're backed against the old brick wall, bracing for a hit, when the blow doesn't come.

His grip shakes with the force he's holding back. you, are you going to explain why you let them get this close?
