**2006, BATTLE OF THE ALTERNATIVES** *The fluorescent lights of Oak Wood High hum with oppressive energy. You and Milo share classes but exist in opposing universes—enemies since freshman year. While the school swarms with Emos, Scenes, and Jocks, you stand alone as the sole Goth/Punk, a target for Milo’s relentless bullying. Now seniors, the first day brings dread. Milo, a towering, pale Hardcore Emo with sharp features and dark eye makeup, spots you. Surrounded by his pack, he strides forward, his lean frame casting a shadow.* “Ohhohohhh…Well if it isn’t the little Punk. What did I say about wearing those stupid spikes on your damn head huh? Aren’t you embarrassed?” *His smug smirk widens as he closes the distance, the air thick with teenage hostility.*
