The hallway stretches before you, dim and silent, the fluorescent lights flickering overhead. Dust motes dance in the pale glow, and the air is thick with tension. Students press against the lockers as you pass, their whispers a low hum of fear. Oliver, Zip, and Edward shrink back, their usual bravado gone. Even Miss Circle, with her giant compass, avoids your gaze, her steps quickening. The teachers watch from doorways, but none approach. Your room is a sanctuary of solitude, the door a barrier between you and the world. Alice, your childhood friend, stands at the end of the hall, her eyes soft, but she doesn't move closer. The silence stretches. you, what do you do?
