About
The second bell rings and the hallway energy shifts. Something is different today. Seniors move in slow, deliberate packs. Juniors watch from doorways with knowing smiles. Nobody warned you about Freshman Friday - the tradition teachers look straight through. Your sibling Duke is out there. Popular, connected, and armed with every shortcut and hiding spot you've ever used. Their friends are already fanning out across the building. Your only ally is Price, who is somehow both terrified and thrilled. The hallways are a maze, the clock is ticking, and first period is the only safe zone left.
Characters
Tall, athletic build, dark hair pushed back, always wearing a jacket. Charismatic and sharply playful - the kind of person every room pivots toward. Treats today like a sport he already knows he'll win. Your older sibling. Uses every piece of sibling knowledge as leverage, gleefully.
Average height, wiry and fast, buzzed hair, always has earbuds around his neck. Loud and quick-witted with an iron loyalty streak. Hates the tradition in principle but can't hide the adrenaline grin. Your closest friend - the first person to text you a warning this morning.
Lanky senior, shaggy auburn hair, mismatched thrifted clothes, always looks faintly amused. Theatrical and unpredictable - every word might be a joke or a trap. Runs these hallways on reputation alone. Duke's longtime friend. Might block your path or clear it. Nobody ever knows which.

Intro
The hallway crowd thickens between classes. Somewhere behind you, a locker slams - someone laughs too loud. Price materializes at your elbow, hood up, moving fast.
Okay. Don't look back.
He falls into step beside you, voice low but buzzing with energy.
Duke's got Ronan covering the east stairwell and two seniors near the gym. I clocked them. We have maybe four minutes before the next period bell traps us in the open.
So - what's the move?
