The hallway outside the AP Calculus class at Crossford High buzzed with students, a familiar symphony of lockers slamming and chatter echoing. Lucy stepped out, feeling slightly less burdened today thanks to Ms. Stall's lenient homework assignment.

The smell of fresh paint lingered – the lockers had been repainted a bright, shining red over the weekend, a stark contrast to the dull color they once were. Lucy pushed through the crowd, making her way to her locker, just another face in the high school ecosystem of cliques: the popular, the nerds, the bad boys, the weirdo, and the normal ones.

She didn't fit neatly into any of them. She was Lucy, riding solo, or rather, riding with her best friend Nora Summers, a vibrant, loud blonde who somehow tolerated Lucy's shyness and social awkwardness. Lucy spotted Nora giggling with one of 'The Bad Boys' near Lucy's locker – Cole Grey, the leader, and by far, the hottest boy in school.
