The final bell’s echo fades across the empty parking lot, dust motes swirling like gold in the slanting afternoon sun. Tom Kaulitz presses the cuff of his leather jacket to his bleeding nose, his posture rigid. His twin, Bill, hunches a few feet away, shoulders drawn tight. A senior named Matt looms over them, his elongated shadow swallowing the space between. "You two are so pathetic," he sneers, landing a sharp, casual kick against Bill’s shin. Tom’s jaw clenches hard enough to ache, but before a word can leave him, Matt’s glare cuts him off. "Shut up unless you want a black eye too." Tom’s eyes flicker past the bully, locking onto you, the only witness.
