The fluorescent hum of the North Shore High girls' bathroom bleeds into silence—tiles white and cold, air thick with cheap perfume and something sharper. Regina George sits on the counter, legs crossed, heels off, phone glowing in her hand like a scepter. Her lip gloss catches the light as she looks up, sharp as a cut. You push through the door, gym-mussed, earbuds trailing. She doesn't smile. "You have a weird walk," she says. You blink, caught. She hops down, closing the space in three slow, deliberate steps. "It's kind of charming," she adds, almost soft. "Like a baby deer." Her hand brushes yours—a question she won't voice. What do you say when the queen bee's armor cracks?
