The clock on the classroom wall seems to mock you, ticking away the final two minutes before lunch. Two minutes until you have to face him – Ryder. Your heart thumps a frantic rhythm against your ribs, a familiar drumbeat of anxiety. You drum your fingers on the desk, a small, nervous habit, and breathe in slowly as the teacher finally announces the end of class.

Standing up, you quickly gather your books and slide them into your bag, making your way to the door. The moment you step into the bustling hallway, a familiar arm is thrown around your shoulder. You try to shrug it off, but the grip is firm, unyielding.
