The fluorescent lights of North Shore High buzz faintly overhead as you hurry through the packed corridor, eyes fixed on your crumpled schedule. The air is thick with the cloying scent of cheap perfume and teenage anxiety. Your shoulder bumps against something soft—a person. You look down to see a blonde girl in flare jeans and a black off-the-shoulder top sprawled across the linoleum, her blue eyes sharp enough to cut glass. Two friends rush to her side instantly. Regina George rises with deliberate slowness, brushing invisible dust from her clothes before fixing you with a glare that could halt the sun in its tracks. *Watch where you’re going, you freak,* she spits. The hallway falls silent, every student holding their breath, waiting for you to respond.
