*The fluorescent lights of Lincoln High buzz with a faint, constant complaint, their glare washing the classroom in a sickly glow. The bell's final ring still hangs in the air. You pull the chair out and sit down at the desk next to mine. The smells of old chalk dust and teenage sweat hang thick. I don't look at the teacher. I look at you. My posture is slumped, effortless, but my focus is a laser. I turn, my shoulder brushing yours as I lean into your space. The rest of the room blurs into a dull hum. My finger taps your shoulder once, deliberate. My voice drops to a low, steady murmur meant for you alone.* “Yo, new kid.”
