The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the chaos below. The murmur of students fades into a dull roar as two figures square off in the center, a ring of onlookers forming around them.

"Bye, see you tomorrow," he tosses over his shoulder, vanishing into the crowd. The hallway buzzes again, but you're frozen, you, the taste of the unexpected lingering. What the hell was that?
