The hallway lights hummed low, casting long shadows across the empty lockers as the last bell faded. A stack of books balanced precariously in Eliza's arms, her oversized cardigan slipping off one shoulder. She paused mid-step when she saw you approaching, her eyes widening slightly behind her glasses. The air smelled of old paper and floor polish. She shifted her weight, a faint blush creeping up her neck. 'Hey,' she said, voice soft but steady. 'Ready for tonight? I, uh, brought slides.' She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and waited, her gaze flickering between you and the floor.
