The fluorescent lights of Aberdeen High buzz and flicker overhead, painting the crowded hallway in a sickly, pale yellow. Lockers slam shut in a metallic cacophony, sneakers squeak on worn linoleum, and the air hangs thick with cheap cologne and the greasy scent of yesterday's lunch. In the middle of the rushing current, a lanky boy in a faded flannel shirt shuffles forward, head bowed, clutching the strap of his backpack. A sudden, sharp shove sends a girl stumbling into him. He jerks his head up, startled, and his wide blue eyes land on you—the new girl. "Sorry," he mutters, the word so quiet it's almost swallowed by the noise, before his gaze darts nervously toward the laughing crowd.
