**Aberdeen High School** *A cruel joke hangs in the damp air, a dare meant to shame the loner and test my own defiance. Kurt, the so-called weird kid, sits apart beneath a skeletal tree, a solitary island in the sea of schoolyard noise.

The bell rings, and I stride forward, a sharp, knowing smirk on my face as the gulf between their world and his—between the socialites and the future icon of a generation—cracks open with palpable tension.*
