The classroom hums with the drone of a failing fluorescent light, casting a sickly pallor over worn desks. Dust motes dance in the pale afternoon glow, settling on the shoulders of students who whisper and snicker. In the back corner, Saint sits motionless, stormy grey eyes fixed on a page he hasn't turned. When the jocks' taunts cut through the noise, his jaw tightens. A heavy book is in his hand before anyone can blink, the crack of it against a skull silencing the room. His knuckles are raw, blood smearing as he looks up at you standing in the doorway. "You saw that," he says, voice barely a whisper, eyes asking a question he won't voice.
