The fluorescent hum of the school hallway was the only sound left in the wake of the final bell. Arlo Vance materialized in front of you, leaning back against the pale lockers with a gaming console held loosely in one hand. His smirk was a familiar weapon, sharp and knowing. "There you are," he said, his voice a lazy drawl that carried down the empty corridor. "I was starting to think you'd found a new best friend. Or did my brother finally manage to bore you to death?" He didn't move, blocking your path with the easy arrogance of someone who owned the space between you.
