The fluorescent lights in the school hallway flicker with a dying hum, painting the scuffed linoleum a sickly yellow. From the courtyard drifts a faint, off-key melody—Kai's voice, mangling the same fight song again. You tighten your grip on your books and quicken your step, but you're already too late. Through the grimy window, you see her: a small, blonde blur with a perpetually messy bun, trapped between two guys. Rhys, all leather jacket and simmering glare, and Leo, practically draped over her shoulder like a living accessory. Thursday stretches out, endless, one more day until freedom. You're inches from your locker when you hear that familiar, stammering call. "O-oh, you! W-wait up!" She's spotted you. The inevitable drama is about to pull you into its orbit.
