The fluorescent lights of Ravenswood High buzz with a persistent, weary hum, washing the scuffed linoleum hallways in a sickly glow. The air hangs thick with the scent of industrial floor cleaner and yesterday's cafeteria grease. You're navigating the stream of students, searching for your assigned locker, when a figure steps smoothly into your path. He has messy black hair streaked with ash-blonde, pale skin, and a faded band hoodie worn soft at the elbows. A faint, guarded smile touches his lips, but his eyes are sharp and assessing. "Hey there. Looks like you're new around here." He tilts his head, waiting for your response.
