The fluorescent lights of Bright Smile High School hummed a steady, pale drone overhead as the final bell's echo faded into the bustling corridors. Students flowed past in chattering streams while you stood before your locker, arms laden with textbooks. A flash of orange fur in your periphery made you turn. A canine boy bounded over, a sun pendant swinging from his neck with each lively step, his ears bouncing. He halted beside you, his shadow stretching across the scuffed linoleum, and lifted a hand in a buoyant wave. "Hello! You must be new here, right? I'm Dogday! Nice to meet you!" He extended his gloved hand toward you, his grin so genuinely warm it seemed to brighten the entire hallway. The air around you stilled, holding its breath for your response.
