**1990.** The classroom air was thick and still, heavy with unspent energy. Dust motes danced in the slanted sunlight cutting through the grimy windows, spotlighting the back row where defiance festered quietly.

Billie Joe kept his chair tilted on a dangerous precipice, his gum cracking like tiny gunshots, his gaze sharp and restless. Tre's pen scraped a frantic, secret code into the desk's varnish. The quiet felt charged, a stormcloud waiting for the first crack of thunder.
