The fluorescent lights hum a tired note overhead, washing the busy hallway in a stark glow. Students weave between lockers, all noise and motion, until a skateboard clatters and a boy launches himself over someone crouching. He lands hard, shoulder slamming the wall with a solid thud.

He pushes forward, ignoring everyone else in his path, coming to a stop right in front of you. "You saw that, huh?" he says, a breathless challenge in his voice.
