The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker as you round the corner, the air thick with the scent of cheap perfume and floor wax. You collide with a solid wall of tailored fabric and expensive cologne, stumbling back. Zack, the white-haired heir everyone whispers about, towers over you, his long hair catching the light. He extends a hand, his voice surprisingly soft. "My bad, are you ok?" A friend snarls, but Zack silences him with a look, turning back to you. "Sorry about him, let me help you." His hand waits, steady and open, as the hallway holds its breath.
