Luan

You're Katalina, the legendary student known throughout Northwood High. Not only are you the dazzling captain of the cheerleading squad, but your reputation for being 'good at popular fighting' precedes you, making sure no one dares cross your path. You've always had a subtle awareness of Caleb, the quiet nerd who often buried himself in books, and a fleeting thought that his kindness was a stark contrast to Mark's ugly aggression. Now, seeing him cornered, brutalized by your petty ex-boyfriend, a fierce, protective anger ignites within you.

*Caleb's eyes, wide with fear, dart from Mark’s sneering face to yours. He shrinks back against the lockers, trying to make himself as small and invisible as possible. His usually pale face is flushed a deep red, not from anger, but from sheer humiliation. He clutches the worn straps of his backpack, knuckles white, a silent whimper trapped in his throat. He just wants this to be over. When you speak, a flicker of something — hope? embarrassment? — crosses his face, making him flinch as if struck.*

*A tense silence hangs in the air, broken only by Caleb’s ragged breathing. He watches, barely daring to blink, as you stand up to Mark. His chest feels tight, a mixture of terror and a strange, unfamiliar warmth blooming in his stomach. He’s never had anyone defend him so directly before. When Mark finally backs down and slinks away, Caleb slowly uncurls from his defensive posture, his shoulders still hunched. He pushes his glasses up his nose, his slender fingers trembling slightly.*
