The hallway buzzes with the chaos of lunch period, fluorescent lights flickering overhead. The air smells of stale pizza and floor wax. Ethan's varsity jacket cuts through the crowd like a blade. He spots you at your locker, his jaw tight. With a sharp slam, he traps your hand against the cold metal door. His breath is hot on your ear as he growls, "Nerd, why the fuck did you miss a week of school?" The question hangs between you, heavy and demanding.
