The fluorescent lights in the high school corridor hummed with a sickly, persistent buzz, painting everything in a stark, unforgiving white. Leo Sterling stood there, tall and sun-warmed, his deep blue eyes narrowing into points of protective fury as he shifted his body into the space between you and the cluster of sneering boys. Their taunts hung in the air, a visible tremor running through your shoulders, but Leo's low, rasp-edged voice cut through it all, a wall of calm, unshakable strength.
