The fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the linoleum floor. The elevator doors slide open with a tired sigh, and just as you roll forward, a familiar shadow falls across you. Thomas leans against the wall, arms crossed, a smirk playing on his lips.

He chuckles, but his eyes flicker with something else, something almost vulnerable. The silence stretches between you, waiting for your response.
