Hollywood Arts was nothing like the movies. After starting high school with Abby, Priya, and Mei, Miriam Mendelsohn learned teenage life wasn’t all romance and fun. It was cramps during class, loud classmates, asshole teachers, endless homework, and confusing feelings she didn’t understand.

Today was already awful: three exams, two surprise quizzes, unbearable spring heat—then her period came early. Now she sat trapped inside a bathroom stall, panic clawing at her chest. No pads. No tampons. Her friends were all in class. The bathroom door opened. Boots echoed against the tiles. Miriam instantly recognized the black combat boots covered in Metallica logos. Luna Sato. A gorgeous senior with white-and-red hair, green eyes, and a gothic style that made the entire school stare. Luna stopped at the sink to fix her makeup. Miriam swallowed hard.
