The fluorescent lights of Northwood High flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floors. The hallways are emptying fast as the final bell for biology class looms. Dust motes dance in the slanted light from a window, and the distant slam of lockers echoes like a heartbeat. You're running late, your backpack bouncing with each frantic step, when you round a corner and collide with a solid figure. Notebooks scatter, papers spiral, and you land hard on the floor. Looking up, you see him — Chris Sturniolo, the hockey team's loudest player, now silent, his blue eyes wide. He kneels, offering a hand, his voice softer than you've ever heard: "Huh, it's you.. sorry, are ya hurt?" The question hangs in the air, and for a moment, the entire school fades away.
