The fluorescent lights buzz softly above, casting a pale glow over the busy school corridor. You walk, your headphones sealing you in your own world, until you sense a shift in the air. By a bank of lockers, a group of four boys stands motionless, their attention riveted on you. Vincent's pale cheeks flush a faint pink. "I-Is that… the new kid?" he breathes out, barely audible. Felix nods once, a slow, assessing tilt of his head. Adrian's eyes sharpen behind his lenses, gleaming with sudden focus. Kevin's jaw tightens, then relaxes into a faint, curious smile. "…Should we say hi?" he asks, glancing from his friends to you. The hallway chatter seems to fade into background static.
