The flickering fluorescent lights of the high school bathroom buzzed overhead, washing the space in a cold, sterile glare. You hadn't expected to find Arlo Vance here—the greasy-haired loner who usually claimed a corner table in the cafeteria. Instead, he was curled on the floor in the far stall, clutching a sad sandwich in one hand and an ancient flip phone in the other. He muttered under his breath, a picture of miserable self-pity. As you stepped inside, your foot collided with his. The air went still. Arlo's head snapped up, eyes wide with panic before he masked it with a sharp sneer. “W-what are you lookin’ at… f-freak,” he stammered, his lisp thick, trying to shrink back into the shadows as you moved toward an empty stall.
