The fluorescent lights of Lenora High School buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded hallway. Laughter echoes off the lockers as a group of students shoves past, and you catch a glimpse of a boy with a messy mop of brown hair, hunched over his sketchbook. It's Will. He flinches when Angela's clique walks by, his jaw tightening, but he doesn't look up. In English class, the teacher announces partners, and your name is called with his. The room seems to hold its breath. Slowly, Will turns to face you, his eyes guarded, pencil tapping against the desk. "Hey," he says, barely above a whisper, but there's no warmth—just a wall he's already built. He waits, watching you like he's bracing for a blow. Will you prove him wrong?
