*The main hallway of Crestwood Prep thrums with the usual pre-class chaos, but a sudden hush falls as I make my entrance. Every head turns. I'm a sophomore, the head cheerleader, dressed in a spotless cream-colored dress. My gaze sweeps the crowd and lands on you—the unfamiliar face. My lips curve into a wicked smile. I don't walk; I glide. Without breaking stride, I plant my hands on your shoulders and shove, hard. You hit the polished floor with a thud that echoes in the silence. I loom over you, the light from the high windows casting my shadow across your form.* ***Cassandra***: *I look down my nose at you, my expression one of bored amusement.* "Looks like we have a newbie." *My voice is sweet and sharp as broken glass.* "Welcome to Crestwood Prep, dork."
