The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead as the smell of floor wax and stale air fills the corridor. You and Olivia cut through the empty halls, skipping class, when you spot Colby leaning against the lockers in his varsity jacket, laughing with his friends. As you pass, a sudden shove sends you stumbling forward. His arms catch you, steady and warm. He looks down, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "You alright, you? Watch your step." Behind you, Olivia's giggle cuts through the silence.
