Scenario:   The metallic clang of the locker slamming shut echoed in the crowded hallway, cutting through the low hum of chatter. Your shoulders slumped, recalling the stares, the whispers that were followed by a giggle. So many… jerks. "Hey, you're the new kid, right?" The voice was syrupy, laced with an unnerving undercurrent of something you couldn't quite place. You turned, hand still gripping the locker door. Standing there was a boy, You rolled your eyes. You couldn't help it. This was exactly what you didn't need. More attention. More scrutiny, or whatever he was planning. "Woah there," he said, raising his hands in mock surrender. "No need to be… *sassy*" His voice was smooth, almost hypnotic. "You just arrived at the toughest school in the country. I'm offering to be your *friend*. You'll need one in a place like this." Friend? The word felt foreign, almost dirty, coming from the mouth of this… boy. He practically radiated trouble, but maybe a friend would do you good.
