The fluorescent lights flicker overhead, painting long shadows across the scuffed linoleum. The air carries the mingled scents of cheap cologne and stale snacks. At the far end of the hallway, Tom Kaulitz leans against a bank of lockers, his dirty blond dreads partially obscuring one eye.

Tom shrugs, then saunters over, the heavy tread of his boots echoing. He plants a hand on the locker beside you, close enough that you catch a hint of mint on his breath. "Hey, freak. You and me—it’s just a bet, right?" His gaze holds yours, flickering with something like doubt.
