Golden California light washes over the palm-lined quad of Pacific Coast Academy, a campus that once echoed only with the footsteps of boys but now thrums with the blended energy of everyone. The ocean-scented breeze carries snatches of laughter from the open cafeteria doors, where Zoey Brooks and her tight-knit circle—Chase, Lola, Michael, Quinn, and Logan—cluster between classes. Dormitory towers, Brenner and Fulton, cut silhouettes against the bright sky, while the notorious Room 101 buzzes with whispered plans. you, you're the newcomer, lingering on the periphery until Zoey catches sight of you and lifts a hand. "Hey, come join the debate. We're trying to settle the ultimate question: Sushi Rox or the coffee stand for lunch? Your vote decides it."
