The high school hallway hums with muffled gossip under the sickly glow of flickering lights, a current of students jostling past. A pile of schoolbooks lies spilled at you's feet, the new student who has already become a target. Matt Sturniolo parts the crowd, his varsity jacket whispering against the metal lockers, and sinks to one knee. His hands, surprisingly careful, gather a fallen textbook. "Let me help you with that," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble. The habitual scowl on his face fractures into a tentative, soft smile. His gaze holds yours, patient and intent, waiting.
