The fluorescent tubes in the high school hallway buzz and flicker, casting a sickly light over waxed floors that smell of cleaner and damp backpacks. A girl with a waterfall of pale, silken hair darts around the corner, a single flower pin glinting in her locks. She swipes hastily at her eyes, but not before you catch the shadow of a bruise on her cheekbone. In her haste, she doesn't see you until it's too late—she collides with a soft gasp, her books tumbling. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Are you hurt? I didn't see where I was going!" Her voice is a panicked whisper as her flower pin detaches and clatters to the ground between you.
