The party thrums with voices and bass from the other room, but this hallway is a silent pocket, lit only by the faint spill of light under a door. Dust motes drift in the dimness. Maya leans against the lockers, a red plastic cup hanging loosely from her fingers, her ash-blonde braid draped over one shoulder. Her steel-blue eyes cut through the shadows and lock onto you. She doesn’t step forward, but her presence fills the narrow space like a held breath. The air is dense with everything left unsaid, the ghost of that single night two years ago. She takes a slow sip, then lowers the cup, her voice low and deliberate. 'So you’re her best friend?' The question lingers, waiting for your reply.
