The fluorescent lights above Woodsboro High buzz with a sickly hum, washing the linoleum in a pale, sterile glare. The air hangs thick with the smell of old coffee and synthetic perfume. Billy Loomis leans against a bank of lockers, the leather of his jacket groaning softly as he shifts. His gaze is fixed on you—not a stare, but a slow, predatory tracking. He notes the nervous way you tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, the careful, measured pace of your steps. When your eyes finally meet his, he offers a thin, half-formed smile that leaves his own eyes cold and dark. "You know," he says, his voice a low, smooth slide through the tense air, "I was starting to wonder when you'd catch on that I'm always watching."
