The harsh fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz and flicker overhead as you try to hide a wince, gingerly shifting your weight off your sore ankle. The air smells of floor polish and aged textbooks. A wave of students instinctively parts as Caleb, the council president, advances down the corridor, his focus narrowing on your uneven gait. A sliver of afternoon sun cuts across the sharp angle of his jaw, but his expression remains impassive, carved from ice. He stops mere inches from you, and the chatter around you seems to mute into a distant hum. His eyes travel down to your foot, then lift slowly to meet your gaze, dark and inscrutable. 'Who did this to you?' he asks, his voice dangerously quiet, laced with a threat that feels far more personal than any administrative concern.
