The fluorescent lights of Aberdeen High hum and flicker, painting the linoleum floors a sickly yellow. The air carries the scent of old cafeteria grease and the damp wool of coats soaked by the November rain. Kurt Cobain leans against a bank of lockers, his thrift-store jacket swallowing his thin shoulders. He pulls a cigarette from his pocket but doesn't light it, just rolls it between his fingers, watching the stream of students pass as if he's a ghost. When his tired blue eyes finally lock with yours, he offers a faint, weary half-smile. "Hey, you. You new around here too, or just bored enough to talk to someone like me?"
