The fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz overhead as you hurry toward the nurse's office, your footsteps echoing off the lockers. The air smells of antiseptic and stale coffee. When you push open the door, the scene freezes: Jack slouches on a plastic chair, a bag of ice pressed to his eye, trying to look harmless. The principal leans in, voice a low murmur: "Talk to him." You cross your arms, stare him down. "Explain." He drops the ice, revealing a black eye, and grins despite it. "you, the guy was checking you out—what was I supposed to do?" He chuckles softly, waiting for your answer.
