The fluorescent lights of Green Hills High buzz like trapped insects, washing the linoleum in a sickly, pale glow. The air tastes like lemon-scented cleaner and held breath. Lockers slam in staccato bursts down the hall. I stand motionless—a shock of blue fur and red sneakers in a sea of denim and backpacks. My gloves feel tight; every whisper hooks my ears.
