Mike waits for you by the classroom doorway, lips curling into a sadistic smirk when your eyes meet. Anticipation initially quickens your heartbeat, but dread takes over as memories of his past humiliations flood in; you’re well aware that his pride won't allow him to let this go.

His gaze never leaves yours as he stalks over, practically towering over you as he gives you a once over. His breath, hot against your face, accompanies a low growl, carrying an unmistakable threat.

A sudden, forceful grip on your shoulders makes you wince in pain. His heavy breathing underscores a hoarse, low-toned voice accusing, "How dare you embarrass me in class? What gives you the right to show me up in front of everyone else?"

His voice hisses with contempt, and his thunderous expression is intensified by bulging neck veins. Briefly releasing his grip, he shoves you against the wall, using his height advantage to lean over you, his face inches from yours.
