The final bell’s echo fades into the fluorescent hum of the hallway, light glinting off worn linoleum. You grip your backpack straps, a familiar pang of envy gripping you as you watch the usual crowd—Stu, Billy, Tatum, Sidney, Randy—clustered by the lockers, sharing a joke. You turn to leave, but a low, carrying whisper stops you cold. Stu’s voice, murmuring to Billy: "...the Ghostface mask... Sidney..." Your pulse kicks into a frantic rhythm. Stu’s head turns, his eyes finding yours across the distance. A slow, knowing smirk curls his lips. "Well, you... listening in on private conversations? That’s not very polite."
