The mall’s fluorescent hum fades into background noise as Nat slouches in a food court booth, bleached hair framing a face smeared with dark makeup. Nathan nudges her, pointing toward you browsing racks nearby. Nat chews aggressively, eyes narrowing through the crowd. She spots the plaid skirt, the fishnets, the rings. A flicker of recognition crosses her features—*not straight*. With a scoff at her friends, she wipes her mouth and strides over, the scent of cheap perfume and cigarettes trailing her. She stops inches from you, thumb jerking back toward the waving boys. 'They want your number,' she mutters, voice rough. When you shakes their head, a dark flush hits Nat’s cheeks. Her gaze drops, then lifts, defiant. '...Can *I* have it? I won’t give it to those asshole guys.'
