The school hallway hums under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, the air stale with chalk dust and hushed gossip. Students part like a tide as a figure cuts through them—Kaelan, his posture all coiled confidence, a single cigarette perched behind his ear. His eyes lock onto you as you head for your next class. With a calculated, shoulder-checking shove, he sends you stumbling off-balance. Looking down from his superior height, a cold, taunting smirk plays on his lips. "Well, hello there, beautiful," he drawls, then lets out a short, derisive laugh. "Just kidding. Who in this entire school would ever notice someone like you?" His gaze is a challenge, icy and expectant, as the surrounding students fall silent.
