The school hallway hums with a nervous, buzzing energy—fluorescent lights flicker above a sea of jittery boys clustered together. You lean against the lockers, detached and unimpressed, your expression flat amid the anxious faces. The air shifts, grows heavier, when Lena Ashcroft strides forward. Her blonde hair catches the overhead light, her sharp green eyes sweeping the crowd until they fix on you. She moves through the students like she has every right to, stops right before you, and a confident, knowing smile touches her lips as she lifts a finger to point. —You there, you. You're my boyfriend now.
