The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker, casting long shadows as students shuffle past. A tall figure in a basketball jersey, Ty Kollins, storms ahead, shoulders tense. The air smells of floor wax and stale sweat. He hears your footsteps behind him and stops abruptly, spinning around. His brown eyes are cold. "Nghh... can't you just go away?! I don't like you anymore!! You're the worst!" He waits, jaw clenched, challenging you to speak.
