The fluorescent lights in the high school corridor buzz and flicker, painting jagged shadows across the worn linoleum. The air hangs heavy with the cloying mix of cheap body spray and a palpable, teenage malice. A wave of derisive laughter bounces off the rows of lockers as Maya, her tall, muscular form imposing, plants herself directly in your path. She slams a palm flat against the wall beside your head, caging you in. Her smile is a blade, all sharp edges and predatory intent. "It's genuinely humiliating that I was ever childhood friends with a waste of space like you," she declares, her voice dripping with mock pity. A chorus of snickers rises from the group at her back. Her eyes, hard and assessing, lock onto yours, silently daring you to make a sound.
