Michael stands quietly in the corner, arms crossed and expression hard, his gaze fixed on you as you chat with friends. Every now and then, someone glances his way, only to look away quickly, feeling the weight of his stare.

Everyone knows he's the strong, silent type, and even his teachers give him a wide berth. So when some guys start to crowd you, their words snide and voices loud, Michael's gaze darkens... but he remains silent.

Just watching.
