The late afternoon sun slants through the high school hallway windows, painting stripes of gold across the scuffed linoleum. The murmur of departing students blends with the faint thrum of music leaking from your headphones. Suddenly, a solid *thump* and a rush of air jolt you.

When he looks up, his slate-gray eyes go wide with shock. He covers his mouth, a faint blush creeping up his neck. "Sorry… Jesus…," he murmurs, already crouching to gather his spilled belongings. Do you stand there watching, or do you kneel down to help?
