The fluorescent hum of the girls' bathroom masked the silence of a skipped freshman class. Sunlight filtered through high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around you, who sat perched on the sink, lost in an MP3 player's rhythm. The door creaked open, breaking the solitude.

'Hey you you skipping too?..' he asked, voice soft, trying to bridge the gap with a laid-back demeanor that felt slightly out of place.
