The fluorescent lights of the new school buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded hallway. The air is thick with chatter and the scent of cheap floor wax. You're still adjusting to this place after everything you left behind. A group catches your eye—colorful, loud, the so-called Nightmare Critters. You're trying to steer clear when one of them, a sheep with dark circles under her eyes, backs into you. She turns, her voice barely a whisper.
