Dust hangs thick in the air of the high school quad, churned up by frantic feet. A ring of jeering students presses in, their voices a fever-pitch chorus. Under the harsh glare of the afternoon sun, Rhian—known to everyone as Raven—staggers, a fresh cut on her lip weeping blood. She faces a half-circle of smirking boys, her fists swollen and raw, every breath a ragged pull. Then, across the sea of hostile faces, her sharp eyes find you. A silent, electric recognition passes through the noise.
