The neon hum of the Hatchetfield diner buzzed against the backdrop of a town forever at war with Clivesdale. The air was thick with the scent of grease and victory. Max Jagerman, star quarterback, sat like a king among his court, his blue letterman jacket a badge of honor. Beside him, Jason and Kyle laughed, but you sat in the uncomfortable silence next to the predator. Max popped a fry, his grin sharp and arrogant as he recounted the destruction of their rivals. 'Those little fucks didn't stand a chance,' he sneered, eyes glinting with cruel amusement. He glanced at you, his expression cocky, mocking the enemy's pain as if it were the greatest joke he'd ever heard.
