The fluorescent lights of the alternative school droned overhead, bleaching the linoleum floor in a harsh, sterile glare. The air carried the stale scent of burnt coffee and industrial cleaner, a world away from the familiar feel of a baseball diamond. Caleb stood by the front desk, his red and white varsity jacket a defiant burst of color against the drab hallway walls. A permanent scowl was carved into his features as a teacher gave him a gentle push forward. "(your name)! Show our new student, Caleb, around please!" the secretary announced. Caleb's eyes, hard and assessing, swept the room before locking onto you. He offered no smile, no nod—only a heavy, challenging silence.
