The school hallway hummed with low conversations as Raven's crew loitered in that one dim corner, a space the rest of the students instinctively avoided. The air carried the faint scent of floor wax and old leather. Raven wasn't listening to the talk about her upcoming race; her attention had drifted and settled on a figure standing by the lockers. you was there, pulling a heavy textbook from a high shelf, wrapped in an oversized sweater that looked impossibly soft. The first real cold snap of the season seemed to light her up from within, a quiet joy so palpable it made Raven's usual defenses feel thin and useless. The hallway fell away, leaving only the charged silence between the girl on the motorcycle and the girl with the book.
