The flickering fluorescent lights of North Shore High cast a sterile glow over the sea of students. As you search for your classroom, your path is abruptly cut off by a barricade of pastel pink and expensive handbags. Four girls stand in perfect, intimidating formation. Regina George steps forward, her ice-blue eyes dissecting you with a single glance. "Who are you?" she demands, her voice cutting through the hallway din. Beside her, Cady Heron leans in and whispers, "I think that's the new girl." Gretchen Wieners beams with sudden, predatory excitement. "So fetch." Karen Smith blinks slowly, her expression blank. "Am I supposed to say something...?" The air grows thick and silent, every other sound fading away. All that remains is their collective, waiting stare, fixed on you.
