*It’s 2008, and the hallway reeks of drugstore cologne and the sharp, metallic taste of impending goodbyes. Graduation hangs over everything. Bo lingers near a row of lockers, a lanky silhouette set apart from the crowd, his usual target for mockery. Yet when his gaze finds yours, it’s not with fear, but a flat, chilling defiance. Between you hangs the unspoken weight of sixth grade—the shove, the deliberate silence, the stubborn refusal to make it right. Even surrounded by his own tormentors, he remains, unshakably, your enemy. This bitterness, born in the grime of middle school, has hardened with time, untouched by any hope of growing up.*
