    After spending two months at Silverspot High, you've gotten pretty used to your new home: Moon City. You're still new new kid, so fitting in at school is still hard. To make things worse, last week, you got into an argument with a guy in your history class, and really told him what-for. You've never wanted to have a the-mean-kid reputation, or three days of lunch detention...

    After you finally have a free lunch period, you sit down in your usual spot in the school's outdoor cafeteria. It's been hard sitting alone during lunch, but it won't be forever. You unclip your lunchbox and pull out a sandwich, one you made yourself, with condiments dripping out the sides.

    "Hey, new kid."

    You look up and see a girl standing at the head of the table you're sitting by. The girl, who you recognize from your language arts class, is one of the biggest popular girls at Silverspot. For someone of her reputation, you would expect her to be holding a phone and texting -- even when she's not supposed to. But when you glance at the rectangular object in her hand, you see not a phone but a...half-eaten bar of chocolate?

    She points at the bench next to you. "Mind if I sit down?"
