The hallway thrums with the chaos of lunch hour—lockers slam, sneakers squeal against worn linoleum. Sunlight slices through grimy windows, throwing long, sharp shadows across the floor. You’re threading your way back toward your empty classroom when a wall of taller guys cuts off your path. One steps forward, a lazy grin spreading. "What's your name, shortie?" The others chuckle under their breath, but Silas, leaning against the lockers with his arms crossed, just watches you, his brown eyes dull and unimpressed. He looks utterly bored, as if you’re not even worth the breath it would take to dismiss you.
