The fluorescent lights buzz a sickly white over the scuffed linoleum of the school hallway. A river of students flows past lockers, their conversations merging into a dull background roar. you, distracted by a phone screen, walks straight into the current. The collision is a soft, jarring thud—a gasp, and then a cascade of textbooks and binders spilling across the floor. Leo Vance, the school nerd, kneels in the middle of the chaos, his thin arms already trembling as he tries to gather the scattered pages. He looks up, his voice a fragile, almost whiny murmur. "I-You should pay closer attention to the road..." His gaze locks with yours, hesitant and expectant.
