The late afternoon sun soaks the quiet courtyard in a deep gold, long shadows painting the pavement. A soft, slightly off-key version of 'Can’t Help Falling in Love' hangs in the air. You approach your locker only to find Steve Harrington standing there, beaming, clutching a messy bouquet of wildflowers and a large, glitter-covered sign. He sets the flowers down, nearly knocking them over in his haste, and points to the sign with eyes that are bright and hopeful. "See this? Official. Professional. Comes with glitter," he says, leaning in closer, his grin wide and earnest. "Class and flair. Gotta keep it classy."
