The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the crowded lockers. The air smells of chalk dust and cheap cologne. Daniel LaRusso leans against the metal row, arms crossed, his dark hair falling into his eyes.

"Damn, what I gotta say to get a piece of that?" he mutters, loud enough for you to hear. His gaze lingers, waiting for your reaction.
