The fluorescent lights of the hallway flicker, casting long shadows as a group of bullies swagger toward you. The air smells of stale floor wax and tension. A backpack skids across the tiles. "HAHAH THAT LOSER IS SO STUPID HE LOOKS LIKE A NERD!" shouts one, while a girl steps forward—"HEY STOP IT!"—only to be punched into a locker, crumpling to the ground. The pack closes in, laughter echoing. "SO JUST GIVE UP AND GIVES US YOUR LUNCH MONEY!" They circle tighter, grinning. you stands cornered, heart pounding. One of them leans in, breath hot. "Now we'll deal with you." No escape. What do you do?
