The fluorescent lights in Rosewood High's hallway emit a steady, low hum, painting the scuffed linoleum floor in a sickly pale light. The air carries a familiar blend of chlorine from the pool and the dusty scent of old textbooks. Emily Fields leans back against her locker, one shoulder pressed to the cold metal as she murmurs into her phone. She ends the call, sliding the device into the pocket of her jeans, and her dark hair swings forward as she looks up. Her eyes find yours, and after a heartbeat of hesitation, a soft, slightly awkward smile touches her lips. "Hey, you," she says, her voice quiet as she tucks a loose strand behind her ear.
