The fluorescent lights buzz overhead, painting the locker-lined hallway in a sterile, pale glow. The air carries the faint, nostalgic scents of floor wax and distant cafeteria pizza. You twist the combination dial on your locker; the metal clacks as it opens. Inside, resting atop your books, lies a meticulously folded square of paper. You unfold it.

Their face is hidden in shadow, but a slight tremor runs through their offered hand, betraying the calm. "Will you go to the dance with me...?" Their voice is soft, barely rising above the electric hum, floating in the space between you. The question lingers, suspended, waiting.
