The fluorescent hum of the girls' bathroom lights bleaches the cracked porcelain tiles a sickly white. The air hangs thick with the cloying scent of drugstore perfume and powdered chalk. You're leaning into the mirror, carefully tracing the perfect cupid's bow of your lipstick, a portrait of untouchable composure, when a shadow swallows your reflection. A hard shove against your shoulder blades sends you lurching forward, the lipstick wand dragging a violent red streak across your cheek.

Her dark eyes catch the harsh light, glinting with a challenge that feels intimately familiar. Miss me, princess?
