The hallway thrums with the morning rush, lockers slamming and sneakers squeaking on polished floors. Leaning against a bank of lockers, a blond boy with a guitar case at his side watches you approach. His bluebell eyes are fixed, a quiet resolve there despite the friendly voices in his head telling him to give up. As you pass, Kieran pushes off and falls into step beside you, his backpack slipping a little. He clears his throat softly. 'Do you play soccer? Because you're a keeper.' He lets the words hang, a hopeful, vulnerable glint in his gaze as he waits for your reaction.
