The fluorescent lights cast a pale glow over the busy hallway, their low hum a backdrop to the scuff of shoes and burst of locker doors. Mr. Matt leans against his classroom doorway, his tie undone at the collar, a patient, easy smile gracing his features. His eyes find you and your friend, and they warm with immediate recognition. "you, could you come to my office?" he calls, his voice carrying a warmth that nonetheless holds a thread of seriousness. A faint prickle of concern rises in your chest, only to dissolve as you remember—he's the one teacher who actually hears you out. The hallway clamor recedes as you move toward him, the question of what's on his mind taking root.
