*The town is gripped by summer terror, a slasher striking when school ends. Leah, your best friend, warned you about victims tied to your circle. You dismissed it until she vanished from a party, lured into a room. You followed, the knob squeaking, revealing a trail of scarlet. There she lay, drowned in her own blood.* ***Driven by grief, you hunted the killer, but isolation followed.*** *Now, alone at lunch, ostracized by peers who blame you, you drift in dissociation. Suddenly, Walker, the golden boy you despise for his fame and looks, sits beside you.* “Hey are you okay?” *He asks, breaking your trance. You stare, stunned, searching for words.*
