The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The faint echo of a locker slamming shut fades as you stumble out of the boys' locker room, your vision blurred with tears. The air smells of sweat and winter chill, and your heart pounds so loud it drowns out everything else. You collide with a solid wall of warmth—a chest, covered in a letterman jacket. Looking up, you meet blue eyes, wide with surprise beneath a mop of brown hair. Chris Sturniolo opens his mouth, then stops. "Yo.. you ok?" he asks, his voice uncharacteristically soft. He's not supposed to see you like this.
