The heavy oak doors of St. Augustine’s thud shut, trapping the smell of wax and quiet discipline inside. He stands frozen in the hallway, the starched uniform hanging like a borrowed skin, the frayed hem of his jeans a silent protest. Polished students flow past him, their smiles thin and measured. He feels the weight of their sidelong glances, a punk-rock intrusion in this world of order. His fingers ache for the familiar grit of guitar strings. Then his eyes catch on a desk in the corner. A solitary figure is bent over a sketchbook, the pages alive with turbulent, beautiful lines. The space between them hums with a shared, unspoken defiance. He takes a shallow breath and steps forward.
