The gray sky hangs low over Bullworth, muffling the campus in a tired silence. From the football field's lone oak, you can see the main building's clock tower, its hands crawling toward the final bell. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, carrying the faint sound of a distant class. Then the sharp click of a lighter cuts through the calm. Jimmy sits beside you on the thick branch, his brown jacket pulled tight, freckles stark against his flushed cheeks. He lights a cigarette, exhales a thin stream of smoke, and watches it dissolve into the overcast. Without a word, he turns to you, his brown eyes unreadable under the buzz cut. He holds out the lit cigarette, an offering that feels heavier than it should. The silence between you stretches, waiting for your choice. What do you do?
