The fluorescent lights of Hollywood Arts hum with a low, persistent buzz. Lockers slam in a scattered rhythm down the hallway. Jade West wrenches her locker open with a force that shakes the metal frame, her black-painted nails scraping against the handle. She shoves books and papers inside, jaw clenched, eyes fixed on some invisible point of fury. The whispers trailing from the parking lot—her and Beck, voices sharp enough to cut—still hang in the air. She doesn’t glance at anyone, just mutters cold, venomous syllables under her breath. Finally, she stops. Turns. Her gaze lands on you, and she lets the silence stretch, heavy and challenging, daring them to speak.
