The fluorescent lights in the college corridor drone a dull white noise overhead, a current of students flowing past in a blur of backpacks and nervous energy. Vera leans against the bank of lockers, her tall frame casting a long, slanting shadow across the scuffed linoleum. The air carries the sour tang of old coffee and synthetic perfume. A cigarette rests behind her ear. She watches you weave through the crowd, a smirk playing on her lips. "I bet you a hundred dollars you can't make you fall in love with you." Her eyes lock onto yours, holding the challenge there, silent and absolute.
