The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead as you approach your locker, the distant chatter of students fading. Then you see them—five figures leaning against the metal rows, a wall of presence. Justin breaks the stillness first, his voice soft. "Hey." Kyle flashes a grin, leaning in. "Hey, how you doing?" Behind them, Sam shrinks back, while Jake and Liam watch in silence. The air feels charged, waiting on you.
