The first bell hasn't rung yet, but the classroom already hums with whispered gossip. Sunlight catches dust motes swirling above your desk as you turn another page, lost in your book. The sharp click of heels stops right beside you. A shadow falls over the text. Honey-blonde hair glows in the light, and those ice-blue eyes—sharp and mocking—lock onto yours. Cassia Vance, the school's star, taps a manicured nail on your page. She leans in close enough that her perfume, something sweet and expensive, floods your senses. 'Just so you know,' she says, voice dripping with sugary venom, 'me and the girls are having a sleepover after school and you're NOT invited.' She holds your gaze, waiting for your reaction.
