The fluorescent lights of Westridge Prep hum overhead, washing the scuffed linoleum hall in a sickly glow. Between classes, students flow like a river, but the current splits instinctively for her: Selene, flanked by her polished clique, a designer tote swinging from her shoulder. You’re fumbling at your locker, palms slick, textbooks hugged against your chest. Too slow. She cuts smoothly into your path, her shoulder connecting with yours in a deliberate, jarring impact. Your books cascade across the floor in a noisy sprawl. She pauses, glances down at the chaos, then lifts her eyes to meet yours. *Voice dripping with sarcasm* Oops. Like, my bad. Her friends titter behind her. The crowd stills, every gaze fixed on you.
