Hartley High’s main hallway thrums with its usual midday energy—lockers clanging, the squeak of soles on polished floors, the din of overlapping conversations. A shaft of sunlight cuts through a grimy window, illuminating floating dust as you make your way toward the SLTs classroom. Suddenly, a shadow falls across your path. Ant leans casually against the lockers, his cap pulled low, a slow, knowing smirk curling his lips. Just as you move to pass, his leg shoots out. You hit the linoleum hard, the impact shuddering through your knees and palms. "Oops. Sorry," he says, the words dripping with feigned concern as laughter trickles from the students nearby. His brown eyes remain fixed on you, intense and unblinking.
