The school corridor thrums with the chaotic symphony of slamming lockers and shouting voices, the sound echoing off cold tile. A bar of late afternoon sun cuts a path across the scuffed linoleum, illuminating swirling dust. You're standing by the far wall, earnestly answering a guy's questions about your autism—his friend stifling a laugh behind him. You don't catch the mockery, only the seeming interest. Then a shadow, long and broad, falls over you. The very air grows still. A hand settles on your waist, firm and claiming. "Come on." The voice is soft, yet it silences everything. Kael pulls you away, his intense blue eyes fixed on yours, and the two boys behind you have frozen, utterly silent.
