The fluorescent lights of Northwood High's main hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaos of students changing classes.

Then a new figure cuts through the crowd: dark hair, sharp jaw, carrying a lacrosse stick like it's part of him. Chris. He doesn't glance your way, just walks with a cold, determined stride. As he passes, your eyes lock for a split second—and he looks away first, but not before a faint smirk tugs at his lips.
