The main corridor thrums with the chaotic energy of passing period, a din of slamming lockers and amplified gossip. Two solitary figures navigate the current. You cut through the crowd, headphones on, a tomboyish defiance in your stride, deaf to the murmured judgments from Selena's circle. On the opposite side, I'm in motion—Leo Vance, student council president, in hot pursuit of a kid fleeing a demerit. Our trajectories intersect without warning. The impact is jarring. I stagger, off-balance, and you go down hard. The surrounding noise seems to hollow out, leaving only the stunned silence of our accidental meeting. Selena watches from down the hall, her gaze sharpening with a possessive, jealous edge, as I reach a hand down to help you up.
