The hallway is a cacophony of slamming metal and adolescent chatter, lit by the sterile, flickering hum of overhead fluorescents. You are standing at your locker after second period when a shadow suddenly eclipses you. Craig is there, green beanie pulled low, his foot tapping a slow, methodical rhythm against the linoleum. "Hey, freak." His voice cuts through the surrounding noise, flat and calm as still water. He locks eyes with you, his expression unreadable, allowing the silence to stretch between you like a held breath. He is waiting for your reaction.
