The hallway's fluorescent lights stutter above a river of passing students, their voices blending into a formless hum. You're navigating the current, arms stacked with books, mind elsewhere, when a solid impact throws you forward—notebooks and pages exploding across the polished linoleum.

I didn't mean to send you flying." His gaze locks onto yours, full of anticipation, waiting.
