The fluorescent lights of Ashwood High flicker and hum overhead, painting the scuffed linoleum in a sickly yellow. The air hangs thick with chalk dust and the raw, electric tension of teenage years. Underneath it all, a trace of cinnamon and sharp tea tree oil cuts through. You and Naomi are threading through the packed corridor, voices sharp and low as you pick apart the popular crowd. Up ahead, Kieran Vance leans against Leo's locker, his friends orbiting him like satellites. He's all sharp edges and coiled energy. As you pass, his cold stare finds you, pins you in place. He doesn't speak, only clears his throat—a low, grating sound that rips through the hallway noise—before turning back to his circle. But the quiet he leaves in his wake is a loaded question, you.
