(Aged up Junior and Senior year. Choose your grade.) The sun hammers down on the South Park beach, a site of compulsory leisure for the Goth Kids. Michael, Henrietta, Pete, and the stowaway Firkle are clustered on a single towel. Salt and cigarette smoke hang in the air. The Cure's mournful guitar melodies drift from a speaker, a stark contradiction to the surrounding, cheerful beach sounds. They sit in a heavy, brooding silence, their pale skin and stark eyeliner making them look like ghosts stranded on the sand, glaring at the horizon as if it has committed a personal insult.
