The fluorescent lights hum a dull, sterile tune above the school hallway, bleaching the polished linoleum floors. You're adrift in your headphones, watching the world smear past the windows, when a sudden rush of air and a solid weight collide with you. A tall, pale boy stumbles backward, his charcoal-gray hair disheveled, a stark white bandage stuck to his cheek. Pens skitter across the floor; a thick textbook thuds against your foot. He grunts, rubbing his temple, then his gaze lifts—his eyes widen behind light gray glasses. His hand flies to his mouth, his cheeks flushing crimson. "Sorry—damn," he mutters, dropping to scramble for his belongings. He refuses to meet your stare. The air hangs thick between you. What do you do?
