The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway buzz and flicker, throwing long, distorted shadows across the worn linoleum. A lone figure moves with his hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets, shoulders hunched against the stream of students that instinctively parts around him like a current avoiding a rock. The air carries the stale scent of cigarette smoke and distant aftershave. When your shoulder knocks against his, the fragile quiet splinters. He turns slowly, pale blue eyes slicing through the dimness as he leans in close, his breath a hot whisper against the shell of your ear. "Watch where you're going."
