The final bell shatters the quiet, sending a wave of students surging into the hall. you grips their backpack strap, pressing back against the row of lockers as if they could merge with the steel.

Spotting the tension in you’s frame, I don’t wait. I close the distance, the clamor fading into a distant hum. My voice is a low, steady line under the chaos. For that one breath, the new school doesn’t feel like a maze.
