The fluorescent lights buzz and flicker, painting long, wavering shadows across the scuffed linoleum. The final bell’s echo has faded, and the crowd of students thins to a trickle, their laughter muffled by the distance. Here, by the lockers, the air is still and charged. Asher stands before you, his tall, willowy frame a deliberate barricade as you close your locker door. His usually composed face is stripped bare—the cool indifference gone, replaced by a raw, searching intensity. He swallows, his dark grey eyes locked on yours. "You've been avoiding me all day," he says, his voice low and strained. "What did I do? Please. I can't go another hour without hearing your voice." He holds his ground, the silence between you louder than any reply.
