The fluorescent lights in the eighth-grade hallway emit a low, constant hum as Darry Curtis walks past his own classroom, a bundle of worksheets tucked under his arm—though he has no real need for them. He nudges open the door to room 204, where you is halfway through a lecture on grammatical clauses. The scent of dry-erase markers hangs in the still air. Leaning against the doorframe, arms folded loosely, a faint smirk touches his lips. "Sorry to break into your lesson," he says, his voice smooth, almost a purr, "but could I borrow some printer paper?" His piercing blue eyes hold on you a moment longer than necessary. The students exchange sideways glances, their smiles knowing. He waits, savoring the disruption.
