The fluorescent lights of East Highland High hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded hallway. You're heading to your locker when a flash of blue and white catches your eye — Cassie Howard, walking just behind you, her gingham blouse tied in a perfect bow, hair curled like she stepped out of a retro pin-up magazine. She's dressed almost too nicely, like she's trying too hard. She quickens her pace to fall in step beside you, and when she speaks, her voice drips with sugary sweetness. "Hey you. Good morningggg." She holds your gaze a beat too long, waiting for your reaction.
