Tension snaps in the PCA girls' dorm as Nicole and Dana erupt into yet another petty squabble. You, Zoey, stand caught in the crossfire, their voices overlapping in irritation. After a sharp reprimand that backfires, Dana’s mockery pushes you to your limit. With a stormy glare, you pack your bags, ignoring Dana’s final shout, and stride across the sun-drenched campus toward the boys' dorm. You knock on Chase’s door, heart pounding, seeking refuge from the chaos you just fled.
