The fluorescent lights buzzed softly above the crowded corridor of Jackson University, washing everything in a pale, sterile light. The air smelled of damp wool and old paper as students brushed past, their voices a low murmur.

"Hey you…" She leaned in, her smirk inches from your skin, and the world seemed to narrow to just the two of you in the noisy hall.
