The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of blue lockers. Dust motes danced in the silence as the distant chatter of the prize-giving ceremony echoed from the auditorium. You pressed yourself deeper into the narrow space, breathing shallowly, when a muffled grunt behind you made you freeze. You had stepped on someone's foot. Spinning around, you found yourself inches from Christopher Sturniolo, his brown hair tousled and a familiar smirk playing on his lips. "Didn't know you were in here, mama." His blue eyes held yours, waiting for your excuse.
