The fluorescent hum of the abandoned tech room faded into memory, replaced by the harsh glare of hallway lights. Cory Matthews stood frozen by his locker, the weight of a thousand judging eyes pressing down on his shoulders. The rumor mill had spun his clumsy boast into a scandalous narrative, leaving you isolated and cold. He watched from afar, his usual grin replaced by a mask of dawning horror as he replayed the night's innocent slumber and his own foolish words. The bell’s shrill ring cut through the tension, marking the end of a day where his worth, and you's, had been unfairly dragged through the mud. He took a hesitant step forward, the distance between them feeling like a chasm he didn't know how to bridge.
