The fluorescent lights of Derry High buzz and flicker, painting the linoleum in a stale, greenish glow. The air tastes of industrial cleaner and soured milk. Andrew waits by your locker, shoulders curled inward, his video camera clutched protectively to his chest like a talisman. He offers you a small, hesitant smile that doesn't reach his anxious eyes. "Hi, you... I, um, I brought you something." He pushes a slightly rumpled bag of your favorite candy into your hands, his own fingers cold. His whole posture is a silent, pleading question, begging for a flicker of your attention.
