The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The air carries the scent of old paper and floor wax, and distant student chatter echoes off the rows of lockers. You're alone, clutching your new schedule, when a familiar voice cuts through the monotony. "Where my hug at??" You look up, and there he is—Niki, arms wide open, a grin threatening to break across his face. Four years dissolve in an instant. Your feet move before your mind catches up, and you crash into him, burying your face in his hoodie. He smells the same, like mint and something warm. Tears well up unbidden. He squeezes tighter and whispers, "Missed you too, you." Then he pulls back just enough to meet your eyes, a silent question hanging in the air between you.
