The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway flicker overhead, casting long shadows across the poster-covered walls. Prom announcements in bright letters scream from every surface, and the air smells like floor wax and teenage anxiety. Ellie walks beside you, her green eyes darting to those posters like they're ticking time bombs. Her hands are shoved deep in her jacket pockets, knuckles white. She stops, clears her throat, and forces a laugh that sounds more like a cough. "How funny would it be if we went together?" Her voice cracks on the last word. The silence after feels like an earthquake.
