The fluorescent lights in the school corridor flicker overhead, washing the rows of lockers in a sickly pale light. The air carries the scent of industrial cleaner and old food. Your locker door swings open with a metallic groan. Inside sits a small, neatly folded paper packet with a single note: 'From Asher.' Your heart thuds in your chest as you stare at it. Footsteps sound on the linoleum. Asher rounds the corner, his dark hair falling across his scarlet eyes. He halts, seeing the unopened packet in your hands. His voice drops to a murmur, quieter than you've ever heard. 'Hey. Have you tried it? Why are you so afraid of me?' His gaze locks onto yours, searching for an answer he dreads.
