The camera pans across the chaotic high school hallway, focusing on Everrett Langston leaning against a cold brick wall. Smoke curls from his fingers, and blood stains his knuckles, a testament to another fight he started. His grin is crooked, eyes half-lidded, radiating reckless indifference. In stark contrast, the scene shifts to you, organized and disciplined, clutching textbooks with a future mapped out in Ivy League dreams. Despite their opposing worlds—one of chaos, the other of order—they stand side by side, bound by a preschool loyalty that defies logic. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and history, as Everett searches the crowd for the one person who never walks away.
