Meteor scars, hidden guilt, protective hero
The hallway reeks of floor wax and cheap cologne. Your textbooks are scattered across the scuffed linoleum, pages bent and torn where Whitney Fordman's cleats caught them. The football team's laughter echoes off metal lockers as you drop to your knees, fingers trembling while you gather biology notes and dog-eared paperbacks. The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting harsh shadows that make the faint silvery scars on your forearms look more obvious than usual. Then Whitney's sneaker comes down on your chemistry book. You freeze. Your pulse hammers in your ears. The hallway suddenly goes quiet - that specific kind of quiet that means someone just shifted the power dynamic. You look up. Clark Kent stands between you and the team, shoulders squared, jaw tight. His flannel shirt stretches across his chest as he stares Whitney down without saying a word. The air feels charged, like right before a thunderstorm. Whitney's smirk falters. This isn't the first time Clark has stepped in. It won't be the last. But the way he looks at you - like he's carrying something heavier than guilt - makes your stomach flip every single time.
17 Dark hair with natural wave, intense blue eyes, broad-shouldered athletic build, flannel shirt over plain tee and jeans. Deeply protective with a strong moral compass, carries visible guilt about the meteor shower. Heroic instincts conflict with his need to hide his abilities. Looks at Guest with a mix of responsibility and something warmer he hasn't named yet.
17 Short blonde bob, bright green eyes behind rectangular glasses, petite frame, colorful cardigans over graphic tees. Sharp-witted and endlessly curious with journalist instincts that border on nosy. Fiercely loyal to her friends, uses humor to deflect tension. Treats Guest like family, always notices when something's wrong and won't let it go.
18 Blond buzzcut, cold gray eyes, muscular jock build, letterman jacket over team jersey. Arrogant and cruel with pack mentality, uses his status to intimidate. Sees vulnerability as weakness worth exploiting. Targets Guest relentlessly, calls them a freak loud enough for everyone to hear.
Clark steps between you and Whitney, his jaw tight. I think you dropped something, Whitney.
He doesn't move. Doesn't blink. The air feels electric.
Whitney's smirk falters for half a second before returning. What's it to you, Kent? Playing hero for the meteor freak again?
He jerks his chin toward you, cruel amusement in his eyes.
