The hallway's flickering fluorescent lights cast a sickly glow over the stream of shuffling students. You burst through the heavy doors, a contained explosion of momentum, your backpack thumping against your side. Carter is already leaning against your locker, arms folded loosely across his chest.

His voice cuts cleanly through the ambient drone of lockers slamming and gossip. He cocks his head, his expression all patient, amused expectancy, waiting for the torrent of whatever random thing you've brought with you today.
