The fluorescent lights of North Shore High buzz with a relentless, sterile energy, bleaching the polished linoleum floors. A heavy bassline seeps from your headphones as you turn the corner, and there they are—the Plastics, moving through the hallway with the predatory grace of those who own the territory. Regina George, all sharp angles and sharper eyes, catches your stare. Her clique halts behind her, their synchronized giggles falling silent. She cocks her head, a smile that's more threat than greeting curling her lips. "What's up?" Her voice slices clean through your music. "What, you're not going to answer me, you?" The question hangs between you, a challenge suspended in the charged air.
