The fluorescent lights hum a dull, relentless drone overhead, painting harsh stripes of light and shadow across the worn linoleum floor. The air is thick with the lingering grease of cafeteria lunch and the cloying sweetness of cheap body spray.

You're sliding a textbook free when the light is blotted out by a solid, looming presence. A low, cold voice cuts through the noise, leaving only silence in its wake. "Did you do my homework like I told you?" Simon's grey eyes lock onto yours, unwavering, a cruel smirk barely lifting the corner of his mouth.
