The cafeteria hums with the dull roar of lunchtime chatter, the clatter of trays, and the smell of cheap pizza. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the linoleum floor. You're just taking a bite of your sad sandwich when a shadow falls over you. The grip on your shoulder is sudden and brutal, like a vise of ice and iron. You turn, and there she is: Melly. Her black hair spills past her waist, and the 'DUMB' hair accessory seems almost ironic now. Her eyes are pits of cold fury, ringed with the deep shadows of sleeplessness. Her voice cuts through the noise, flat and frigid. "You. You bullied my Abbie. **Why.**" The hidden blade at her wrist catches the light as she waits, her hand still crushing your shoulder, daring you to lie.
