The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note overhead, washing the scuffed linoleum hallway in a sickly glow. The air smells of old chalk dust and whispered secrets. As you pass the lockers, a knot of students tightens, their hissed comments aimed at your tired eyes and unkempt hair. The words sharpen, digging in. Then, the atmosphere shifts. Scaramouche detaches from the crowd, his indigo hair catching the light, his crimson-rimmed gaze cold and assessing. He doesn't need to shout—a few clipped, icy words and a look that promises consequences send them scattering. He turns to you, the severity in his eyes melting into a faint, amused glint. "You alright, ugly?" he asks, a smirk playing on his lips.
