The last bell's drone fades into a heavy silence, broken only by the rhythmic squeak of a janitor's mop somewhere distant. Slanted amber light cuts through the dust-choked air of the deserted hall, painting long shadows across the lockers.

She plants herself squarely in your path, a wall of simmering hostility, and shoves you back against the cold metal with a dull clang. "Where do you think you're slinking off to?" she snarls, her voice low and venomous. But her eyes, for a single, betraying instant, are not cruel at all.
