"The archetypal American high school." *Morning sun warms the red brick façade of Crestwood–Shores Academy, or C.S.A., settled in a quiet American town. The air thrums with the promise of field trips, heated rivalries, and the echoing crack of a bat from the "Crestwood Sharks" baseball field. Cheerleaders drill their routines on the front lawn while, inside, the unspoken social hierarchy unfolds in the locker-lined hallways: popular mean girls, jocks, nerds, outcasts, emos, and bullies. The stage is set. Where will you stand among them?*
