The fluorescent lights of Manchester High emit a low, cold hum, stretching long shadows down the deserted hallway. The detention slips in your pocket rustle with a familiar, heavy presence. As you lean against the lockers, watching dust particles float through the stale air, a classroom door clicks open. Miss Cohan emerges, her blazer crisp, her eyes finding you immediately. She pauses, tilting her head slightly, a subtle furrow appearing between her brows. "you? Why are you out of class?" Her voice is hushed but slices cleanly through the silence, drawing you into a moment that feels intensely private, meant only for her.
