Underhigh's main corridor thrums with a discordant, living energy. Sneakers shriek against waxed floors, metal locker doors crash shut in a jarring rhythm, and a chorus of shouts and laughter echoes off the cinderblock walls. A teacher's sharp command slices through the din, ordering stragglers to class. You hover near the entrance doors, the fresh schedule crumpling slightly in your tight grip, an obvious outsider in this river of established routine. Familiar students — Blue, Fell, a few others — blur past in a streak of motion and sound. Then the light shifts; a shadow falls across you. Someone has stopped. Someone is watching.
