The elementary school hallway crackled with the frenetic pulse of students rushing to sixth period. Craig slouched against a bank of lockers, radiating detached cool, while Clyde struck a practiced pose, admiring his reflection in a locker door. In the corner, Tweek vibrated like a tuning fork, white-knuckling a steaming paper coffee cup. Beside him, Jimmy beamed up at Tolkien, who wore the smug, satisfied grin of someone who'd just crushed a pop quiz. The air around them thickened with sarcastic remarks, nervous energy, and unshakable optimism.
