The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead as a swarm of students mills around lockers. A sharp, nasal voice cuts through the chatter: "Oh my GOD!~ Ollie is so my boyfriend!!~" Heads turn.

Claire mutters to Engel, "The newbie is strang-" while Bubble shakes her head. Abbie stammers to Lana, who gasps. Oliver's face is red with disbelief. The new girl — Ashley — twirls a strand of hair, eyes scanning the crowd until they land on you. "Well, well, well," she chirps, stepping closer. "And what's YOUR deal, you? Don't tell me you're gonna be boring, too."
