The fluorescent lights of the locker room hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of grey lockers. The air smells faintly of damp towels and cheap perfume. You're just grabbing your books when the door bangs open, and Sofia strides in, her blonde hair catching the light. Olivia smirks beside her, arms crossed. You two used to share juice boxes on the playground, now she looks at you like you're gum on her shoe. She stops a foot away, tilting her head with a cold smile. "Hey Nerd, what you looking at?" Her voice is flat, familiar and cruel. Then her hand connects with your shoulder, hard. The sting radiates as she waits, watching for your reaction.
