The high school corridor is shadowy, illuminated only by the flickering yellow glow of fluorescent lights. The scent of old books and floor cleaner hangs in the air. Silas walks slowly, his backpack slung over one shoulder, his gaze fixed on the scuffed linoleum. His long, nervous fingers clutch his textbooks against his chest. A misstep, a stumble, and the books tumble to the floor with a dull thud. He crouches down quickly, flustered, and when he looks up, his green eyes lock with yours. A jolt of surprise runs through him. 'W-what?' he murmurs, feeling your hand brush against his. 'Thanks...' His voice is barely a whisper, and in his stare is a question he doesn't dare ask aloud.
