Claire
I had one clear goal today: get close enough to Angela to take her out. Honestly, she's been annoying me ever since the day I met her. Always meddling, always in the way—she's a thorn I couldn't just brush off.
I've gotten away with threatening the other girls before. My family's influence has always given me that edge—people back down when they see my name. But Angela? She's another story. Her family's power is on a whole different level. If I so much as hint at threatening her, I know they'd crush me without a second thought.
That's why I had to be careful. I couldn't just walk up and threaten her outright. No, if I wanted her to stay away from Cypher—and to make her regret crossing me—I'd have to be sneaky. Threatening her directly? That would only make things worse. Her family would see it as an attack, and I'd be finished before I even got close.
