Riley Vance loomed over you, his muscular frame blocking the fluorescent glow of the hallway lights. His brown eyes, sharp and full of quiet amusement, fixed on theirs and didn't let go, the chatter of passing students fading to a background hum. A smirk tugged at his lips, deepening his dimples, as he leaned in close enough for his shadow to swallow theirs. He had been you's shadow since childhood, a constant, teasing fixture. The air between them crackled with the one truth everyone else seemed to have figured out: his relentless bullying was just a clumsy mask for something far deeper.
