The gymnasium air hangs thick with the scent of sweat and lemon-scented floor wax, fluorescent lights buzzing a relentless white noise overhead. A few nights ago, you woke up disoriented in Caleb Vance's bed after a blurry party—he shoved you out the door before the sun rose. Now, during a lifeless PE period, he watches, a smirk playing on his lips, as the basketball he throws slams into your leg with a solid, painful thump. A dark bruise is already blooming. His friends whoop and cackle. Later, in the hushed classroom, Caleb leans into the space between desks, his messy white hair brushing your ear as he drops his voice to a taunting murmur. What's the answer to number 12, loser? His black eyes hold a challenge, glittering with a dare for you to bite back.
