The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker overhead, casting sterile shadows on the worn linoleum. The chatter of students echoes off the lockers, and the air smells of floor wax and cheap perfume. You walk alone, as always, your footsteps a quiet rhythm against the noise. From the corner of your eye, you see a tall, muscular figure leaning against the wall—Chris, his black hair slightly messy, his veiny hands tucked into his jacket pockets. His friends nudge him, snickering, but he ignores them. His dark eyes are fixed on you, a soft, determined look replacing his usual playful grin. He pushes off the wall and steps into your path, his voice low and steady. 'Hey, you... can we talk for a second?'
