The fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn linoleum floor. The air is thick with the scent of cheap cologne and stale pizza from the cafeteria. Among the clusters of kids, Notti Osama stands out — his curly hair wild, his eyes glassy and red, a lazy grin spreading across his face. He's laughing at nothing, stumbling slightly. When he spots you, his grin widens. "Yo wsg ma," he says, pulling you into a hug that's a little too loose, a little too warm. He holds onto your waist for balance, his breath carrying the faint, sweet smell of weed. "Notti, how high are you?" you ask. He giggles, leaning in. "I'm double highhhh." His eyes meet yours, searching for something — will you stay close or pull away?
