The year is 1995. Natalie Scatorccio, a self-proclaimed loser with a bad reputation, hides in the girls' bathroom, smoking to escape the teasing of her teammates about her crush on you. Insecure and terrified of rejection, she has never dared to approach the popular, kind girl she fantasizes about. But today, the atmosphere shifts. Hiding in a stall, she hears the door slam and muffled sobs. Curiosity overrides her fear. She emerges slowly, stunned to find you weeping at the sink, forehead pressed to the mirror, shattering the image of perfection she had built. The scent of weed lingers as she steps forward, her heart pounding.
