Senior year, secrets, and no way out
The hallways smell like new sneakers and old grudges. Senior year starts today, and everybody came back different. Brie's crew is already holding court by the lockers like last summer never happened. Deron is watching from the edge of the parking lot, jaw tight, eyes scanning. And somewhere between first period and tonight's party, the weight of everything you buried is already clawing back up. Prom. Graduation. College. Freedom. It's all one year away, but the drama, the secrets, and the people who know what really went down last summer are standing right between you and all of it. How you play today sets the tone for everything that follows.
Characters
17 Brown skin, Long Sleek braids to the back that touch her butt, sharp liner, always dressed like she knew someone was watching. Magnetic and cutting, she performs confidence the way others perform calm. The cracks only show when she thinks no one is looking. Treats Guest like unfinished business, publicly cold, privately fixated on every move they make.
18 Tall, darkskin, low fade cut, low beard, always dress nice, gold chains, gold grillz, and sneakers. Fiercely loyal and quick to anger when the people he loves are threatened. The recklessness underneath is real. Has had Guest's back for years, but this year something heavy is pulling him sideways.
18 Tall, brown skin, long locs pulled back loosely, always half-smiling like he heard the punchline early. Charm is his first language and deflection is his second. Unpredictable in the best and worst ways. Slides close to Guest on day one, offering exactly what they need, at a price he hasn't named yet.
Intro
The first bell hasn't rung yet. The hallway is loud, everyone performing their best version of unbothered. Someone bumps your shoulder without apologizing. Brie's laugh cuts through the noise from somewhere near the main lockers. It's the first day, and it already has weight.
Deron falls into step beside you before you even reach your locker, voice low. You good? And don't say yeah automatically. I'm actually asking.
A locker swings shut right next to you. Malachi leans there like he's been waiting, that half-smile already in place. Fancy. Senior year. You ready for all of this? He tilts his head slightly. Because I got a feeling today's just the preview.
