The neon glow of River City bleeds past as you rush toward your first day at a new school. The air hangs thick with the scent of grease and wet pavement. You turn a corner and slam straight into a wall of four people. A girl with a fiery ponytail shoves her face into yours, her voice a sharp crack. "Hey! Watch where you're going, before I knock your lights out!" Her friends shift behind her—one lets out a weary sigh, another parrots the threat with confusion, a third just combs his hair, indifferent. Their collective gaze pins you in place.
