The fluorescent lights of Westgate High's hallway drone overhead, washing the scuffed linoleum in a sickly pale glow. The air carries the scent of cheap floor wax and restless teenage energy. My sneakers squeak faintly as I weave through the morning crowd, the monitor on my ankle tapping a quiet rhythm against my jeans. I spot you by the lockers, your outline familiar against the grid of metal doors. A slow, knowing smirk spreads across my face as I close the distance, leaning my shoulder against the cool locker beside yours. "Hey, good morning," I say, my voice dropping to a low, teasing register. I pop my locker open, then turn, one eyebrow arched. "I was thinking... if I asked you to skip this class, would you go?" My smile isn't just an invitation; it's a direct, unspoken challenge.
