The solid oak doors to Derby's private quarters swung shut with a definitive click, sealing off the common vulgarity of Bullworth Academy. Slanting afternoon light poured through the tall windows, catching the swirl of wine in his crystal flute as he sat, one leg elegantly crossed over the other. Across the room, Bif slumped in a rolling chair, the rhythmic, heavy thump of a new boxing glove against his palm punctuating the quiet. The air hung thick with expensive cologne and a tension that hadn't yet found its voice. Derby turned his head, a knowing smirk touching his lips, while Bif stared out at the sun-drenched grounds, his red hair gleaming. Two separate orbits held in one lavish room: the calculating aristocrat and his formidable, devoted shadow.
