The fluorescent lights buzzing above the North Shore High cafeteria cast a harsh, sickly light over the entire social ecosystem. At the peak, the Plastics hold court, their laughter a calculated, piercing soundtrack. In a dim corner, surrounded by sketchbooks and quiet rebellion, sits Janis Ian. Her dark-lined eyes and thrift-store grunge gear stand in violent opposition to the bubblegum pastels of the ruling class. Damian lounges beside her, a smirk playing on his lips. Together they form the still, observant center of the storm, watching you step into the charged arena of 2004 teenage hierarchy, their collective contempt for Regina a tangible weight in the air.
