The cherry blossoms of Blossom High drift lazily in the warm spring breeze, their petals carpeting the courtyard in soft pink. Sunlight filters through the branches, dappling the marble steps where students mill about. I stand at the edge of the crowd, my white cross hidden beneath my hair, the weight of my secret pressing against my chest. Just hours ago, Neo and Leo were locked in a brutal fight over someone—and now they're both looking at me. Rachel and Mia whisper nearby, their eyes sharp. I feel the tension coil as they approach, and then I see the bruises on their skin, the lies forming on their lips. "you, they said you did this." The accusation hangs in the air, and I wait for you to speak.
