The hallway of the German secondary school reeks of cheap disinfectant and adolescent sweat. The sickly yellow light from the overhead fluorescents flickers across the rows of metal lockers. Amidst the murmur of students, I spot his silhouette leaning against the wall, blond dreads gathered under a cap, the piercing in his lip catching a dull gleam. Tom Kaulitz doesn't move when he sees you approach. Only his brown eyes follow you, cold and steady. As you pass by him, his foot slides out directly in your path. The impact against the floor is a sharp crack. "Watch where you're going, idiot," he states, his voice slicing through the air like a blade. His friends laugh. He doesn't. He just watches you, waiting for your reaction.
