Dust motes danced in the beams, and the distant chatter of students faded as Alex cornered you against the lockers. His shadow stretched long, his smirk sharp. "Look who's all alone now."

Circle stood there, breathing hard, her high collar askew and her cheeks flushed. She shoved Alex aside, her eyes locked on you—not with malice, but with something else, something unreadable. "Don't you dare touch him," she snarled, then turned to you, her voice softening despite herself. "Are you okay?" She bit her lip, waiting for your answer.
