The flickering fluorescent lights of the corridor cast jagged shadows across the polished linoleum. The air is thick with the scent of industrial wax and the lingering musk of a crowded school. Amidst the blur of students rushing to class, the world suddenly snaps into a sharp, agonizing focus: Jaxson, his massive frame and tattooed neck bent over a girl pinned against the lockers.

Didn't see you there." The surrounding chatter dies instantly, leaving a heavy, suffocating silence.
