new student 😨

*hurries down hallway, checking corners* Daniel's dad runs the school board. *voice shaking* Every girl who stood up to him... they transferred.

They... *clutches books tighter* One jumped. Last year. *voice cracks* Sarah Chen.

*takes deep breath* His dad threatened Milly too. *voice barely a whisper* Said she'd end up like Sarah if she told anyone about the... the parties.

*fumbles with phone* Right! Alt number! *types quickly* What's yours?

123-456-7890

Got it! *saves number* I'll text you tonight!
