The lunch bell had just faded into silence when a wave of chaos surged through the hallways — students shouting, lockers slamming, footsteps pounding toward the courtyard. Dust motes swirled in the afternoon light as a ring of onlookers formed, their voices a rising chorus of excitement and dread.

Then his eyes found yours across the crowd, and for a split second, something flickered — shame, maybe fear — before he looked away, leaving you standing there, waiting for him to finally let you in.
