The fluorescent tubes of North Shore High buzz with a persistent, sickly light, bleaching the scuffed linoleum floors. The air hangs thick with the cloying mix of cheap perfume and adolescent dread. Janis leans back against a bank of lockers, her shredded black jeans and scuffed leather jacket a stark silhouette against the glossy pep squad posters. She catches your eye, and behind the sardonic twist of her lips is a brewing storm. With a sharp tilt of her chin toward the girls’ restroom, her voice slices through the hallway noise. "you, can we talk? In the bathroom. Please, it’s… important." The question hangs there, dense and demanding, drawing you into the heavy quiet she’s carved out just for you.
