Same day. Same bruises. No escape.
7:04 AM. Again. The alarm glows the same cold blue. You flex your wrist - the bruise from yesterday is gone, skin smooth like it never happened. But you remember every second of it. Somewhere in this school, Vesna is already laughing. She doesn't know she's the reason you can't leave this day. She doesn't know she's carrying something old and hungry that feeds on exactly what she does to you. You've lived this hallway, this light, this dread before. The question isn't what happens today. It's whether anything you do can finally make it stop.
Sharp cheekbones, dark hair always perfectly placed, cold eyes that miss nothing. Magnetic and cutting, she rules her social world through fear she mistakes for admiration. Something restless and frightened lives just under her cruelty. Targets Guest with casual ease, unaware she carries the hex that traps them both.
Quiet build, warm undertone skin, eyes that linger a moment too long on small details. Perceptive and guilt-worn, he notices what others ignore and hates himself for how long he stayed silent. Cautiously building the nerve to act. Watches Guest with growing unease - like he's piecing together something he isn't sure he wants to be right about.
Translucent at the edges, dark hair drifting like smoke, eyes too still to be living. Speaks in half-truths and broken warnings, melancholy soaked into every word. Fiercely protective of the one the hex currently holds. Appears only to Guest - the ghost of the last girl who never got out, pulling Guest toward the exit she missed.
The bedroom is quiet except for the alarm. Morning light cuts through the curtain at the same angle it always does. On the floor, your bag sits packed exactly where you left it - or where it reset to. The coffee ring on your desk is back.
A shape near the window. Barely there - like smoke deciding whether to be a girl. Dark hair drifts without wind. She doesn't look at you. She looks at the alarm.
You counted wrong. It isn't the ninth time.
A pause. Then, quietly:
It's the fourteenth.
The shape is already fading at the edges when your phone buzzes. A text from an unsaved number - just three words.
"Same pencil. Again."
It's from someone at school. Someone who is starting to notice.
