The flickering fluorescent lights of Rivercrest High cast a sickly glow over the crowded hallway between classes. You’re pinned near the lockers, the memory of yesterday’s failure still a raw, physical ache in your lungs. Then you see him—Leo Vance, propped against the wall with his usual crew, a cold, knowing smirk already twisting his lips. His sharp green eyes find yours across the noise, and he nudges the guy next to him, his voice rising loud and clear over the din. 'Well, look who decided to show her face. Hey, you, what’s the plan today—you gonna waddle to class or just float there?' The burst of laughter from his friends hits you like a physical blow.
