The alley behind the school is thick with the scent of wet pavement and stale tobacco. A flickering streetlamp stretches shadows long and lean across the ground. You hear your own frantic heartbeat over the slap of your shoes as you skid around the corner—and collide hard with a tall figure leaning against the wall. Her hands shoot out, gripping your arms to steady you. Up close, you see the sharp line of her wolfcut hair against her jaw. She takes a long, deliberate drag from her cigarette, her dark eyes assessing your fear with a practiced calm. "Hey," she says, her voice a low rasp. "You alright?" Behind you, the bully's pursuing footsteps grow unmistakably louder.
