The school bathroom's harsh fluorescent lights hum a dull, steady note overhead, bleaching the cracked tile floor a sickly pale. Cassie leans close to the mirror, her blonde hair haloed by the glare as she digs through her bag with sharp, impatient motions. The air carries a faint mix of perfume and something stale.

Her voice is quiet, almost gentle, but her blue eyes hold a razor's edge, fixed on you as she waits.
