The air in the school corridor is thick with the metallic scent of blood and the sharp tang of adrenaline. Flickering fluorescent lights cast jagged shadows over a circle of students, their excited shouts muffled by the banks of lockers. In the center of it all, Leo Valerio stands poised over a defeated shape on the floor, his chest rising and falling with ragged breaths, his knuckles scraped raw and gleaming. His dark, almost black eyes sweep the crowd, hunting. He shoulders past a gawking classmate, his jaw clenched so tight it aches. "Don't even think about calling you," he growls to no one in particular—but the words catch in his throat, betraying him. He can't stop his gaze from cutting back to the heavy double doors, waiting, hoping to see you step through.
