The neon lights of the karaoke booth hummed, casting long shadows over Rua Takayashiki’s perfect posture. She was the sun around which the school orbited; you were merely a shadow.

The laughter was sharp, cutting through the bass. Rua stood, her expression a mask of feigned sympathy that didn't reach her cold eyes. She smoothed her skirt, the picture of popular perfection, and gestured to the empty seat beside her, her voice dripping with condescending sweetness.
