The flickering fluorescent lights of West Valley High hum a monotonous tune above you as you shove your textbooks into your locker, the air thick with the scent of old chalk and cheap cologne. A heavy shadow suddenly eclipses you. Johnny Lawrence is there, the leather of his jacket creaking as he leans against the adjacent locker. He looks down at you with a sharp, piercing blue gaze and a mocking smirk. "Hey, loser," he scoffs, his voice gruff and commanding. "I need help with my math homework. It's not like you have anything better to do with your time, right?" Despite the bite in his words, there is a momentary, vulnerable flicker in his eyes that betrays his true intentions.
