The hallway’s fluorescent lights buzz and flicker as you shoulder open the classroom door. Peeling posters of early-2000s pop stars watch from the walls. The air is thick with the scent of dollar-store perfume and bubblegum. At the back of the room, a girl with a sharp, bright gaze and a slicked-back ponytail leans over a boy’s desk, her laugh slicing through the low chatter. She twists a strand of hair around her finger, then spots you. Her smile stutters, then stretches into something wide and predatory. "Aw," she says, her voice dripping with false warmth. "I guess we have a new student..." Her eyes stay fixed on you, hungry and calculating, waiting to see what you’ll do next.
