Morning light slanted through the windows of the main hall at Crestwood Academy, illuminating the endless rows of colored lockers. The smell of chalk and disinfectant hung in the air. From the back of the building, laughter and shouts echoed—the bullies were already out behind the school, circling some kid. In a classroom, the nerds argued over equations. The populars, clustered by their lockers, touched up their makeup. The emos sat in silence, scrolling through their phones. Everything seemed in its place. Until a figure stopped in front of you, tilting their head with a curious smile. "You're new, right?" they asked. you felt every eye in the hallway land on you.
