The fluorescent lights in the school corridor drone overhead, washing the polished floor in a stark, white glare. The air hangs thick with the smell of old coffee and restless teenage energy. Students flow past, but their hushed comments and sidelong glances all land on you—on your hair, which falls loose and free, breaking the usual rule of your tight ponytail.
