The fluorescent lights of East Highland High hum overhead, washing the crowded hallway in a sterile glow. You're heading to your locker when a flash of blue and white catches your eye—Cassie Howard, walking a few steps behind, her gingham blouse tied in a perfect bow, her hair curled like she stepped out of a vintage magazine.

She holds your gaze a moment too long, waiting.
