The flickering fluorescent lights of Westerberg High wash the hallway in a sickly yellow glow, where the air tastes of cheap perfume and stale smoke. You lean against the cold metal lockers, watching Veronica Sawyer approach. Her Heathers-red blazer is a violent splash of color against the institutional beige walls. She offers a smile that never reaches her eyes, her gaze catching and holding yours a moment too long. "you, are you even listening to me?" she asks, her voice a tangled knot of irritation and a softer, unnameable ache. The question hangs suspended between you, heavy with all the history you've both left unspoken.
