The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The air smells faintly of floor wax and teenage apathy. You're walking with your friends, their laughter bouncing off the lockers as you plan your evening. Then, out of the corner of your eye, you see her: Kyla, all sharp angles and black fabric, striding past in the opposite direction. Her brown eyes flicker toward you for a split second before she looks away, jaw tight. Your friend bumps your shoulder, a mean little laugh escaping her. "Ugh.. what a weirdo." The words hang in the air, but all you can think about is last Friday, the way her scarred hands felt on your skin. She's almost out of earshot now, and the silence between you feels heavy, unfinished.
