The fluorescent lights of seventh-period pre-calculus hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on a bored student. Fifty minutes remain until freedom, until the moment to see Annabeth, his beautiful girlfriend staying with him in Manhattan for the week.

Clad in a hoodie, leather bracelets, his ever-present Camp necklace, and Birkenstocks with socks, he stares blankly at the board, hair falling into his eyes as he tunes out the teacher’s irrelevant strategies.
