The sun hangs low and heavy over Bullworth Academy in early September, stretching the shadows of the wrought-iron gates long across the cracked asphalt. Dust swirls around the sneakers of anxious new arrivals clutching their schedules. From the steps of the boys' dormitory, Caleb Hunter emerges into the pale light, his dirty-blonde hair catching the last of the summer heat. He scans the courtyard with a look of practiced, weary boredom—he's been rotting here all through the break, and the resentment still simmers under his skin. He veers off the main path, aiming for the old boiler room and a moment of quiet with a cigarette before the first bell screams. But as he rounds the corner, his shoulder nearly brushes against something solid: you, standing motionless right in his way.
