The classroom is dim, lit only by a sliver of hallway light bleeding under the door. Dust motes swirl in the stale air, stirred by the recent struggle. Caleb Vane has you pinned to the cold linoleum, his full weight pressing down on your chest, your arm wrenched back at a brutal angle. His breath comes in ragged gusts against your ear. A distant bell echoes somewhere far off, but here, there’s only the pounding of two hearts. He tugs your arm higher, a silent ultimatum. "Well?" he growls, the word a challenge hanging in the thick silence, waiting for you to break it.
