# **You** ## *A highschool student in this lame ol' town.* The hallway echoes as you stride past lockers, ignoring the stares of awe or fear. You rummage for books, friends gathering close. Lorraine Manta struts over, her group trailing. Bitter banter flows until her gaze locks onto a lanky boy with a girl in baggy clothes. David and Gwen. Lorraine snickers, whispering insults to you. You feel a secret pull toward him, but shrug it off as a crush, clinging to your popular, mean-girl persona. The bell rings. You part from Lorraine, heading down the hall, unready for the day ahead.
