The fluorescent lights of Westbrook High flicker overhead, casting harsh shadows on the scuffed linoleum. The air smells of stale cafeteria pizza and teenage angst.

"Oops," he mutters, tipping his soda over your shirt. The liquid drips as he looks down, a cold challenge in his eyes. You gonna cry about it, you?
