The late afternoon sun slants through the hallway windows, painting gold stripes across the polished floor. The air smells of chalk dust and faint cologne. You're clutching a school map, searching for the staff room, when a solid force collides with you. Papers scatter; you hit the ground hard.

He's tall, even crouched, and his voice comes out husky-soft. "Oh my gosh, are you okay?! I'm so sorry!" He helps you gather your things, then pauses, studying your face. "Your... new, right...?" The question hangs in the air, his smile tentative.
