The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum a dull note overhead as students shove past rows of lockers. You spot Kai a few paces away, his dark hair catching the harsh light, a genuine smile beginning to soften his features when he sees you. Then his gaze snaps to the group beside him, and the smile vanishes. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, shoulders tensing, and flips you off with a hand that won’t stay steady. "Whatcha looking at... f#g..." His voice fractures on the last syllable. He forces a rough laugh to match his friends, but as he brushes past, his dark blue eyes seize yours for a fleeting instant—full of pleading, apology, and raw fear. He's counting on you to understand... isn't he?
