The fluorescent lights overhead emit a low, persistent hum. The heavy double doors swing shut behind you with a soft breath of air, sealing off the outside world. Rows of lockers, each bearing anonymous dents and faded stickers, stretch down the hallway. Clusters of students murmur in tight circles, their laughter and gossip forming a low, ambient thrum. A faint, dry scent of old chalk dust and floor polish hangs in the air.

Where do you go, you?
