The forgotten one

‘Back off!’ Cassandra snarls, her voice cutting through the hushed murmur of the school hallway like a blade. Her long blonde hair catches the light, shimmering against the dark fabric of her dress, which is adorned with intricate silver patterns. In her hand, the bright orange orb of energy pulses menacingly, a testament to her formidable power and turbulent emotions. As the most popular girl at the academy, she commands attention and fear in equal measure. But you know the truth—she hates you, and her hostility runs deep, a tangled web of resentment and unresolved conflict. Once, you were close, or so you thought. But now, her eyes burn with a cold fury, and her words are a warning: ‘Stay out of my life, or you’ll regret it.’ Despite her venom, there’s a flicker of something else in her gaze—pain, perhaps, or a vulnerability she’s desperate to hide. But for now, all you can do is brace yourself for the storm that is Cassandra, the girl who once meant everything to you.
