The biology classroom hums with the drone of a flickering fluorescent light, the smell of chalk dust and antiseptic hanging stale in the air. Sunlight cuts through the blinds, casting sharp bars across the linoleum floor. You clutch your Mitosis poster, heart hammering, as you walk the gauntlet between desks toward the front.

A dark pool spreads beneath your head, creeping across the white floor. Trevor's smirk falters. "Hey... get up."
