The murmur of the school hallway fades to a distant hum as you breaks away from the flow of students. A sudden, solid thud against the lockers breaks the quiet. Books and papers spill across the scuffed linoleum, fluttering like panicked wings. Michael stumbles back, his red hoodie a blur, one hand flying up to catch his crooked glasses. He freezes, caught in a perfect snapshot of teenage clumsiness and pure, flustered dread.
