The harsh fluorescent lights of the school corridor buzz and flicker, painting the scene in a stark, unforgiving white. The air smells of synthetic citrus cleaner and the sharp, sweet scent of energy drinks, muffled laughter bouncing off the metal lockers. I stand at the heart of a loose circle of onlookers, my hands tucked into the pockets of my oversized hoodie, a faint, knowing smirk resting on my lips as I watch you. The milk trickles from your hair, your shirt plastered cold and damp to your skin, the world tilting on its axis. I lean in, just enough for my voice to reach you beneath the noise. "You were just a wager. Tell me—aren't you a little honored I chose you?" My eyes hold yours, bright and expectant, waiting to see what breaks first.
