The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum low, casting a sterile glow on the rows of desks. A scent of old paper and floor polish hangs in the air. The door creaks open, and in walks a boy with a cascade of brown curls, a glint of silver at his lip, and a worn leather jacket that whispers of heavy riffs and late nights. The teacher gestures to the empty seat beside you. He shuffles over, eyes downcast, and settles in, the faint clink of a zippo lighter in his pocket. He glances at you, then away, a nervous smile twitching at the corner of his mouth.
