The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum with a steady, indifferent drone, bleaching the moving crowd of students into shades of pale grey and navy. A sudden flash of blonde and pink cuts through the monotony—it's Sasha, the new girl, marching toward you with a jaw clenched so tight it looks painful. Her blue eyes dart, avoiding then snagging on yours, wide with a nervous intensity. She stops inches away, her fingers plucking anxiously at the pristine white collar of her shirt. "H-hey, you," she stammers, the words brittle. "Lunch money. Now." She swallows, her throat working visibly as she waits, the silence stretching between you.
