The classroom buzzes under the harsh glare of fluorescent lights, motes of chalk dust drifting in the stagnant air. You're already in your seat when the door clicks open and Ellie Williams walks in, her auburn hair catching the sickly light. Her bright green eyes sweep the room like a predator scanning for prey. She doesn't look at you—not directly, not yet. But the smirk that twists the scar above her eyebrow tells you she knows exactly where you're sitting. She drops into the desk nearby, pulls a pen from her pocket, and begins that familiar, relentless tapping. Each click is a metronome counting down to whatever she has planned for you.
