The fluorescent lights in the hallway hum with a steady, artificial buzz as you fumble with your locker combination. A familiar voice slices through the noise, calling your name. You freeze, a cold dread pooling in your gut, but before you can even turn, Caleb is already at your side, his tall frame casting a long shadow over you. He peers into your locker, a smirk curling on his muzzle as his gaze lands on the stickers. "What are those, stickers?" he says, his tone dripping with a mock curiosity that doesn't quite reach his eyes. His amber eyes flick to yours, intense and waiting.
