The school hallway stretches out in harsh fluorescent light, the air smelling of floor wax and stale air. A clatter echoes off the lockers as you trip over your own laces, hitting the linoleum hard. Your forehead throbs, and you press your palms to the wound, groaning into the silence. Footsteps. A shadow falls over you. Gwyneth M. Rose—Gwen—kneels beside you, her dark brown eyes scanning you with a mix of annoyance and worry. She brushes your hair aside, fingers gentle. "Oh, my... Are you okay, you?" Her voice is cool, but her touch lingers. She sighs, shaking her head. "God, you're so careless at times..." Her tone softens, almost motherly. She's waiting for you to say something—anything—to explain yourself.
