The hallway buzzes with the usual high school chaos—lockers slamming, laughter echoing off the walls. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, casting long shadows on the linoleum floor. Xander stands at the center of a cluster of popular kids, his perfect hair catching the light, his laugh sharp and dismissive. When he spots you approaching, his smile falters, eyes narrowing. He turns, voice cold. "Not now, you." The words hang in the air like a slammed door, leaving you frozen mid-step.
