The fluorescent lights of Grizzly Lake High hum overhead as the final bell echoes through the hall. It's 1992, and the air smells like cheap cologne and eraser dust.

"Hey," he pants, "could you help me study for the upcoming exams? Please..." He stares at you with bare hope, waiting for an answer.
