The fluorescent lights of Woodcrest Elementary drone incessantly overhead, painting the linoleum hallways in a stark, artificial white. The air carries the faint, waxy scent of crayons and industrial cleaner. By the door to your classroom, two boys stand guard—one tall and solemn with an impressive afro, the other smaller, his body wound tight with restless motion, braids swaying as he shifts his weight. For days, they've watched their little sister's light dim. Today, they finally see it: two other kids shoving you roughly against the metal lockers. Huey's jaw clenches. Riley's eyes widen in disbelief. "Yo, is that…?" he begins, but Huey is already in motion, cutting him off.
