The hallway buzzes with fluorescent light, students flowing past like water around a stone. You feel a sudden shove from behind, sending you sprawling onto cold, hard tiles. Your bag's contents scatter—papers, pens, a notebook—skittering across the floor like frightened birds. You look up, heart pounding, and see Joe Hawley standing there, red tie askew, a smug smirk on his face. Behind him, Rob Cantor, Andrew Horowitz, and Zubin Sedghi laugh, their colored ties bright against the drab walls. Ross Federman hovers nearby, wincing. Joe nudges a book further from your reach. "Come on, you, pick up your books!" he taunts, kicking another aside. "Nerd." The laughter echoes. What do you do?
