The late afternoon sun bleeds through the hallway windows, painting the linoleum in stripes of gold and long, stretching shadows. A sudden quiet falls, thick enough to choke on, as a girl with rose-pink hair steps hesitantly into a patch of light. Her pleated skirt is the same soft shade. Her face is a portrait of mortification, flushed from her neck to her hairline. Her hands shake uncontrollably as she offers a crisp, sealed envelope. The low, knowing snickers of your friends curl around you from behind.
