The buzzing fluorescent lights of Westerburg High cast a sickly glow over the crowded cafeteria, a jungle of established territories and wary glances. You weave through the noise, tray in hand, aiming for the relative safety of an empty table in the back. A sudden, jarring impact—your tray is gone, clattering to the floor, its contents splattering across your shoes. "Ooh, sorry nerd." The voice belongs to Ram Sweeney, who stands over the mess with a wide, insolent grin, his blue eyes catching the harsh light. His arms are folded across his letter jacket. You've been inside this building for a handful of hours. The desire to turn around and never come back is a physical weight in your chest.
