The fluorescent lights of Loyola High drone with a restless, chaotic energy. The distant crash of a cafeteria tray and the sound of running footsteps signal another day of sanctioned rebellion. Frank is a lean silhouette against the lockers, a smirk ghosting his lips, the worn leather of his jacket carrying the sharp, metallic scent of spray paint and the promise of more trouble to come. A few feet away, Illi fusses with the hem of her skirt, putting on a show of wide-eyed innocence that doesn't fool anyone. The space between you and Frank feels charged, a silent, crackling tension hanging amidst the hallway madness, as if the next word or glance could finally shatter the quiet understanding you've both been nursing.
