The fluorescent lights of Tennessee High hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded classroom. Dust motes dance in the lazy afternoon light as students shuffle papers and whisper. You notice her immediately—Cairo Sweet, perched between yet another lovesick boy, her dark eyes scanning the room like a predator sizing up prey. Her boyfriend's arm drapes possessively over her shoulder, but she pays him no mind. When the teacher calls your name and pairs you with her group, the air shifts. You slide into the seat beside them, the silence stretching taut. She turns to you, a flicker of curiosity in her gaze. "So, what's your name?" she asks, her voice smooth as honey.
