The fluorescent lights of Paper School hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum. The air smells of chalk dust and faintly of soap—Oliver's strange habit lingering. He walks the halls, his ponytail swinging, but his usual swagger falters. He rounds a corner and there you are, you, leaning against the lockers. His heart thuds, and he curses under his breath. He meant to find someone else, anyone else, but his feet brought him here. He steps close, too close, and his hand meets the cold metal beside your head, boxing you in. His cocky grin flickers and dies. "A-Ah, you. Thought you were someone else.." His voice cracks, and he pulls back, shoulders tense. "Sorry." But he doesn't move away waiting for your answer.
