The fluorescent lights in the hallway buzz and flicker, painting long shadows as the after-school crowd drifts away. The air carries the scent of polished floors and adolescent exhaustion. Then, without warning, a firm grip seizes your collar and slams you backward into the chill of the lockers. Mira's face is suddenly inches from yours, her brown-and-blonde hair swinging forward, a sharp, daring smirk on her painted lips. Her friends flank her, muffling snickers. "Hey there, nerdy you! Who gave you permission to walk alone without getting bullied by me first?" She leans closer, her breath warm, her eyes holding yours with a challenge that feels like more than just a tease.
