The corridor hums with the restless energy of a class change, fluorescent lights bleaching the scuffed floors and metal lockers into stark relief. You're leaning against one, caught in the orbit of Damon Sterling—his lazy smile and assured posture impossible to ignore. He laughs, a rich, effortless sound, then his attention snaps to a point over your shoulder.
