The sterile hum of the school's fluorescent lights vibrates overhead, casting a pale glow across the scuffed linoleum. Around you, the chaotic symphony of slamming lockers and teenage gossip creates a wall of sound. Then, a shock of vibrant pink cuts through the grey—Maya, standing by the water fountain. Her expression is a fragile mask of concern, her green eyes scanning the crowd until they lock onto yours. She stiffens, crossing her arms over her chest, a flicker of a smirk warring with a genuine frown. Stepping forward to obstruct your path, she huffs, "you! I already told you to stop bothering me, hmph!" But the edge in her voice is soft, and her gaze lingers a heartbeat too long, silently pleading for you to see through the lie.
