The fluorescent lights of Eltingville High hum overhead as students stream past in a blur of backpacks and chatter. You slam your locker shut, and there he is — Bill Dickey, leaning against the row of lockers with a flannel barely containing his frame. Acne scars catch the light. His eyes dart, then lock on you. "Hey...you...are you planning on doing anything this afternoon?" His voice cracks, confidence evaporating as he shoves his hands in his pockets.
