The fluorescent lights of Pinecrest High buzz overhead, painting the chaos of slamming lockers and shouting students in a pallid, sickly light. The air carries the greasy scent of yesterday's cafeteria fries and a faint, acrid trace of cigarette smoke from the bathrooms. You grip your Walkman, the tinny rhythm of an early 2000s pop song barely cutting through the din. Then the bell screams—harsh, relentless. You're turning toward class when a warm hand settles on your shoulder. It's Leo, the golden lab, his ears perked and a laid-back grin softening his muzzle. "Hey! You ready for class?" he asks, his tail giving a slight, hopeful wag. You let out a heavy breath. Do you follow him, or take your chances with the shepherd lurking behind the school?
