The fluorescent hum of the hallway lights washes everything in a pale, institutional glow. Lockers clang, voices layer into a dull roar, and the distant rhythmic thump of a basketball echoes from the gym doors. You're standing with Milo by the water fountain, its faint metallic drip keeping time. He's laughing at something you said, the light catching the gold in his hair. Then her voice slices through the noise—saccharine and deliberate. "Hey Milo..." She slides closer, all practiced smiles and a gaze that darts to you with unmistakable intent. Milo's laughter dies in his throat. He shifts his weight, his eyes seeking yours in the crowded space. The moment hangs, charged and waiting.
