The hallways of Blithe Hollow Middle School hummed with morning energy—lockers clanged, sneakers squeaked on linoleum. A sudden bump sent your books spilling across the floor. Norman—the boy with spiky brown hair and a quiet, watchful gaze—stopped. He knelt beside you, his movements careful as he gathered the fallen pages. His eyes held a flicker of concern, but then voices rang out behind him: 'Hey, Norman!' He glanced back at you, a quick, apologetic look crossing his face before the crowd pulled him away.
