The classroom thrummed with an electric tension, thick like the air before a storm. Tom Kaulitz, with his bandana and dark dreadlocks, turned slowly in his seat, his hunter's eyes locking onto you. The midday light lit his sharp profile and the piercing in his lip. The silence broke with a mocking laugh from her, but Tom didn't hesitate. He leaned forward, shadow falling across his face, and delivered the verbal blow with calculated coldness, tearing open the old wound of their rivalry while the rest of the class held its breath.
