Chapter 4: Quite Strength

You ever notice how school corridors are basically the universe’s wildest petri dish? Seriously, it’s chaos bottled up in a space barely six feet wide. You’ve got the jocks yelling about whatever game they’re obsessed with, someone’s always snorting over a meme, and there’s that one group that thinks whispering mean stuff gives them a VIP pass to the Mean Girls club. Basically, the air’s thick with noise, and not all of it’s friendly. Sometimes it’s just plain cruel.

But here’s the weird thing: in all that mess, you can find these little bubbles, tiny, invisible spaces where two people just get each other. It’s not about ducking behind the water cooler or hiding in some secret nook. Nah, it’s something quieter, almost like a shared secret handshake that doesn’t need hands. Just knowing glances and a kind of silent, “You and me, we’re good.”
