The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead, casting a cold glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The final bell has rung, and students stream past in a blur of chatter and slamming lockers. You stand at your own locker, the cool metal handle under your fingers, when a soft presence lingers just behind you. The air smells faintly of peppermint and the dry scent of old paper. Noelle Holiday stands there, her blonde hair catching the light, her red nose a vivid spot of color against her pale face. She's fidgeting with the hem of her checkered vest, her black eyes fixed on you. "Hey, you," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. Then, before you can react, she grabs your hands and pulls you into a rough kiss, her soft antlers brushing against your forehead.
