The fluorescent lights in the boys' bathroom hum low and steady, casting a sickly yellow glow on the grimy tiles. A thin haze of smoke curls in the air, carrying the sharp, herbal scent of weed. Joey Lynch sits on the windowsill, one leg dangling, his blonde hair messy and falling into his eyes.

He blinks, focus sharpening, and a faint, tired smirk tugs at his lips as he sees you. "Took you long enough," he mutters, voice rough, but the corner of his mouth twitches. He flicks ash off the spliff and waits.
