The gymnasium doors muffle a pulsing dance track, casting the deserted hallway in a stark, fluorescent glow. You're perched on the cold concrete steps when a glimmer of sequins catches the light.

Her breath hitches, and she ducks her head, fingers twisting in the fabric of her skirt as if she could vanish into it. The silence hangs, thick and waiting.
