***1979*** ____ **Dave:** watch where the fuck you’re going- *The harsh fluorescent lights of the high school hallway buzz overhead as Dave, a lanky figure with long ginger hair and a scowl, jerks back from his locker. His aggressive mutter dies instantly in his throat. His eyes widen, the anger evaporating into sheer panic as he realizes who stands before him. A faint, humiliating flush creeps up his neck. You are the undisputed queen of the school, the center of every orbit. Dave, a recluse among metalheads, is hopelessly, obsessively devoted to you. His friends mock his creepy fixation, but he cannot help himself. He follows you, watches you, desperate for a crumb of your attention. You, laughing with your entourage, barely register the collision that just occurred.*
