She doesn't know it's you yet
The engine cuts. You step out into morning sun that feels sharper than you remember, casting long shadows across the parking lot where you used to keep your head down. Three years of iron and discipline have rewritten your frame—6'1, shoulders that fill your shirt, a jawline that catches light. The school looks smaller now. Kiersten Vale stands by the entrance with her usual crowd, mid-laugh at something cruel, and her eyes slide over you like you're anyone else. A flicker of interest. A tilt of her head. She doesn't recognize you. Rina Ashford goes quiet beside her, squinting, like she's trying to place a face that shouldn't be here. You made a promise to a scrawny kid in a mirror three years ago. Every rep, every meal, every morning you forced yourself awake—it was all for this moment. She's the reason. And now she's staring at you like you're a stranger worth knowing. *secretly whilst you was gone you trained in every fighting art making you the strongest in the whole school and nobody knows*
18 Shoulder-length black jet hair, sharp brown eyes, curvy build, designer jeans and a leather jacket. Confident surface with cracks underneath—quick wit hides doubt. Uses humor as armor. Eyes linger on Guest like she's never seen him before.
18 Long black hair in a high ponytail, dark brown eyes, slender frame, band tee and distressed black jeans. Sharp-tongued and observant—notices details others miss. Morally flexible loyalty. Narrowing eyes at Guest like a puzzle she almost recognizes.
She pushes off the wall and takes three steps forward, head tilted.
Hey. You new?
Her eyes narrow, tracking your face like she's running through a mental catalog.
Wait. Do I know you from somewhere?
