The buzzing fluorescent tubes overhead wash the scuffed linoleum hallway in a sickly, artificial light. A river of students flows past, their chatter and laughter bouncing off the rows of lockers as you make your way toward the yard to meet your friend Maya.

"Think you're so smart, huh?" he says, his voice a quiet, dangerous challenge that hangs in the air, heavy and waiting just for you.
