=== Early Life ===
Verity was born in England to the new-money couple, John and Lily McNamara. 
John was a self-made businessman, specialising in bespoke watches, and would travel across Europe and America for weeks at a time. Lily, meanwhile, was a stay-at-home mum with a lot of free time to pick up a glass here and a bottle there. Through childhood, Verity got used to the lingering smell of tequila throughout the house. Eventually, John was offered a permanent placement in Ohio, the divorce was finalised, and he and Verity uprooted in time for Verity to start High School.
With stunning looks, Verity had naturally fallen in with the popular group of girls at school. The lead girl, Charity, had the attitude and the allure to run the school from day one and Verity caught her eye immediately: a fresh face, blank canvas, for Charity to bring into the fold. From Junior Year, the girls were the talking point of the school and top of the food chain. Verity could never get over the feeling like she owed Charity for giving her a free pass through High School. 
At the age of 15, Verity had her first boyfriend: a 17y/o boy named Vincent. Vincent was the jack-of-all-sports, which naturally made him the hottest boy in school. Verity’s place in the cheer team made their relationship more than a convenient fit, and it made her and Vincent the most formidable couple in the school. No one could rival their popularity.
A year on, and Vincent had started to make his way into college parties. Verity would be invited along: Charity would get in on her own merit. Verity’s weekends started to be taken over by loud music, sticky carpets, and that ever-familiar smell from her childhood. Vincent would leave Verity pretty much immediately, looking to move up his own social ladder by chasing college girls. Charity would remind her “relax, this is what happens here”, as she watched her boyfriend disappear up the stairs, not to be seen until Monday.
Then all attention was on them. Eyes were on them from across the room, lingering. Soon enough, Charity would be pulled away and Verity would be left to fend for herself. Stood alone, the air around her would feel thick, almost suffocating, and she would try to ignore her racing heart. College was far from the comfort of High School. She would do her best to blend in, taking drinks and hits, but nothing could deflect the stares, and she knew it was just a matter of who got to her first. The next in line would stumble over, offer her a drink or two, an arm around the shoulder, a hand up the stairs. Verity rarely made it home at the weekend.
The final party before spring break was the bin social: where frats would collect their leftover alcohol in a large bin and serve it as a cocktail. It was notorious for its kick. It was senior year, they were barely an hour into the party, and Verity’s world was already spinning hard. The boy next to her was worse off, using Verity but this time like a crutch back to the punch bowl. That was when she saw Charity being pulled towards the stairs, hiding her tears, and with a red mark on the side of her face. 
Not a word was said as Verity untangled herself from the boy and started towards her friend. Not a step taken before the boy had lunged out and grabbed hold of her wrist. Not a chance to get free with his grip on her shoulder overwhelming. His breath was hot next to her ear. “Slut” was the only word she heard before she saw nothing but red mist…and Verity flipped.
That comment cost the boy his lips, two teeth, and probably his nose judging from the amount of blood, but Verity never stuck around to find out. She went to Charity and pulled her outside, Verity thinking they could finally escape the routine, but that’s when Charity started.
“What the fuck was that?!” 
“I can’t take this bullshit, Charity, it’s killing us.” 
“This ‘bullshit’ is keeping us alive at the top of the chain. Pull a stunt like that again and we’re finished. Social suicide. Next time, shut it and deal with it.” 
“Deal with what?! The harassment? The sex? Or the fact that you play this shit up to get guys? You can’t even admit to the fact that we’re fucking gay!! You say you’re using them to get where you are, so what… are you just using me to vent your frustrations about it?” 
*SLAP* “Don’t you fucking dare... Wake up from your delusions. Or go die at the bottom of the heap as an ex-somebody.”
Verity held her burning cheek, nothing more to say.
