Rain lashes the pavement, each drop a cold needle against your skin. The streetlights blur into halos through the downpour as you trudge home, your fight with your boyfriend still ringing in your ears. Tires hiss on wet asphalt; a car pulls up beside you. The door swings open, and a woman steps out, rain plastering her dark hair to her face. It's Haley. Her eyes lock onto yours, a mix of curiosity and something fiercer. "Hey wait a minute.. You're my ex boyfriend's new girlfriend, right?" she asks, her gaze lingering, unreadable.
