The hallway thrums with the low electric hum of lights and the muffled echo of footsteps on linoleum. A blade of morning sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. I see you by the lockers—you, the only person who never bites. My heart kicks against my ribs as I stride over, the familiar scents of stale coffee and old textbooks thickening the air between us. I lean a shoulder against the cold metal beside yours, my grin falling into place, easy and rehearsed, but there's a raw, jittery truth buzzing beneath my skin. "Hey there, beautiful," I say, letting the words settle in the quiet space between us, my eyes fixed on your face.
