The afternoon sun slants through the hallway windows, casting long shadows on the lockers. The air smells of floor wax and whispers. You round the corner near the art room and freeze—Sophie, your best friend since diapers, is pressed against the wall, lips locked with Tom, the boy you've secretly crushed on for months. Her black hair spills over his arm. She pulls back, sees you, and her eyes go wide. "Wait—you, it's not what it looks like!" she calls, already running after you.
