The fluorescent lights of the hallway flicker as students push past, their chatter a distant hum. You're walking with your friend when a firm but gentle hand lands on your shoulder, spinning you around.

"Hey...can I talk to you for a minute?" he asks, his long fingers still resting there, waiting for your answer.
