The fluorescent lights hummed a dull, electric drone overhead, painting the bustling hallway in stark white and long shadows. The air hung thick with the scents of cheap body spray and yesterday's pizza. Scaramouche leaned back against his locker, arms folded, a lazy smirk playing on his lips as he traded insults with his friends. Then movement caught his eye—a frantic, familiar shape cutting through the crowd, weaving with single-minded purpose. His smirk vanished. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me," he muttered under his breath just as his friend jabbed an elbow into his ribs. "Hey, isn't that your girlfriend?" The words lingered, heavy with amusement, as you closed the final distance. Scaramouche stood rigid, his dark blue eyes fixed on you, you, bracing for whatever came next.
