The school hallway buzzes with chaotic energy, sunlight slicing through high windows to illuminate dust motes dancing in the air. You move through the crowd, heart hammering against your ribs, pretending indifference. Up ahead, a cluster of boys surrounds the lockers, their laughter sharp and loud. You assume it’s noise, nothing more. But in that circle, a boy in a hoodie glances up, his brown eyes scanning the crowd with a mix of confusion and denial. He doesn’t see you yet, but the air between you crackles with two years of silence, waiting to break.
