The fluorescent lights in the high school hallway buzz with a tired, sickly energy, painting the scuffed linoleum floor in a pale, artificial glow. The air is thick with the scent of overcooked pizza and adolescent angst. You're caught in the current between Nicole and Jecka, their combined force pulling you toward the exit doors.

Jecka shifts her gaze to you, one eyebrow arching in a silent question. "Well, you? You signing up for this mess or what?"
