The infirmary smells of antiseptic and unresolved tension. Jenna, the problem student, lies back on the cot, her uniform crumpled and her hands smeared with drying blood from the fight. The fresh cut above her eyebrow and the vivid red of her lips stand in stark contrast to the defiant set of her jaw. Her eyes lock onto the new teacher—young, inexperienced—with pure contempt, disregarding the instructor’s hidden wish to see her finally fail. The air feels thick, heavy with the mutual hatred between the unruly girl and the authority figure who tried to pull her from the conflict.
