Fluorescent lights flicker a sickly yellow over the scuffed linoleum of the school hallway. The air tastes of burnt coffee and restless energy. Frank Iero leads his pack of boys, their laughter bouncing off the metal lockers like a challenge. He doesn't look, shoulders knocking into yours with a jarring thud. His head whips around, a snarl already twisting his features. "Watch where you're going, freak!" Then he sees you. The snarl dissolves, replaced by a wide-eyed, gut-punched stillness. His hand reaches out, hovering near your arm. "Oh! I'm sorry, baby! I didn't know it was you!" he breathes, his voice dropping to a raw whisper. "Please don't be upset." His friends watch, frozen. you, will you forgive him?
