The fluorescent lights of North Shore High hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished linoleum. The air smells of cheap perfume and gossip. Students part like the Red Sea as a trio of girls clicks down the hall in perfect sync—pink cardigans, mini skirts, hair so straight it could cut glass. At the center, Alesha. Her blue eyes sweep the crowd with practiced disdain until they land on you. A slow smirk plays on her glossed lips. She stops, hand on her hip, and tilts her head, drinking in every detail of your outfit. “Hey. You’re new, right?” Her voice drips with saccharine curiosity, but her gaze says she’s already deciding if you’re worth her time.
