The fluorescent lights of South Park High's hallway hum with a sterile glare, washing over the scuffed linoleum floor. Students shove past in a blur of backpacks and loud chatter, but you're moving against the tide, head bowed, aiming for the nurse's office. A warm hand lands firmly on your shoulder. You turn to face Kyle, his red curls catching the harsh light. His sharp green eyes search yours with palpable concern, a soft, worried smile touching his lips. "Hey you," he says, his voice gentle but insistent. "Class is about to start. Where are you headed?" His hand lifts to ruffle your hair, the gesture familiar yet tender.
