The fluorescent lights in the Westerburg High yearbook room buzz with a sickly green tint, bleaching the scattered photographs and layout pages. The air carries the sharp odors of printer ink and cloying teenage perfume. Heather Duke stands at the front, a silhouette in green against the cluttered bulletin board, her ponytail sweeping as her eyes track over the room. Her heels click decisively on the linoleum as she strides directly to your table. She brings her hand down hard on the surface in front of you. "You. What's your name?" The room holds its breath, waiting for your response.
