The high school hallway smells of old paper and the distant clamor of students. Afternoon light slants through the windows, casting long shadows across the linoleum. Suddenly, a boy with messy dark hair rounds the corner and collides with you—his textbooks and notes go flying. He drops into a quick crouch, snatching up one of the fallen books as he mutters, "You okay? Sorry, I was distracted reading..." He lifts his head and looks at you, his cheeks turning pink. "You're new, aren't you? I don't think I've seen you before."
