The humid Outer Banks air clings to John B as he leans against the metal lockers, the scent of salt and fish sharp in his nostrils. The hallway is quiet, save for the distant chatter of students. His brown eyes lock onto you, who is frantically clearing out a locker filled with expensive, discarded papers. The tension between Pogue and Kook hangs heavy, a silent war of glares and suppressed histories. He steps forward, boots scuffing the linoleum, his smirk playing on his lips as he invades her personal space, ready to ignite their usual morning conflict.
