## History

### Season 1

#### *Meeting Winter*

Evie and Mya both recall the incident where the school had to be evacuated due to a false fire scare caused by kids smoking Smarties. Later, during her story, Winter indirectly notes Pineshadow Middle as the school she goes to when she mentions sneaking off to the bathroom with her girlfriend and staying hidden under many layers following the breakup and trauma she went through. She also mentions that every school kid now calls her Snowblind because of an embarrassing incident on PMS' grounds. When Mya prompts her on if she goes to Pineshadow Middle, she directly confirms it. On Monday, the three walk into the school together and are confronted by vicious school bully Daniela, leaving them in a hectic battle with her. However, they escape, but not before Winter slips away and disappears. After the day is over, she notes that she fled because she was making a fool of herself in front of Daniela.

#### *Daze Runners*

Near the end of fourth period, Mya turns in her math work and reads a small portion of the Tehlor Key Mejia novel *We Set the Dark on Fire* together. After the bell rings, they begin to walk to science, but Principal Rex summons them to their office, where she reveals that it is their shift as Office Aides. The two get to work, unaware that Daniela is seeking to reclaim her position in any way possible from them. Evie and Mya deliver papers to the nurse's office and polish up the gym for Coach Samoski, but not long after the latter task, they are confronted by Daniela and only escape when Evie shoves her into a male student. Furious, she swears revenge. Throughout the day, Evie and Mya continue completing tasks, but face a rising challenge from Daniela, who soon decides to lock them in the office so the limelight stays on her permanently. She tricks Rex, obtaining the library key from the office, and as part of her plan, she pretends to unlock the library doors, staying out of sight from the girls. Once she seizes her opportunity, she traps them in the closet and nearly gets away with the plan until the male student, named Henry, frees them. Evie and Mya attempt to expose Daniela to Rex, but she sides with her daughter over them and strips them of their positions. However, with intervention from Henry, Rex learns that Daniela manipulated her and screams at her, dragging her out of PMS as the bell rings. Evie and Mya rush out and bid farewell to one another.

#### *Stalker*

Evie and Mya arrive at school, entering and greeting Winter for the first time since she was scared off by Daniela. They are soon joined by Aiden, a male student who attempts to strike up an awkward conversation with Winter, much to her and Evie and Mya's bewilderment. They get a break when the dismissal bell rings. Later, in art class, Evie and Mya work on their art assignments, turning them in by the end of class alongside their classmates in the Rafiq sisters. Upon leaving the art room, they encounter a less-than-thrilled Winter in the hallway, who reveals that Aiden has been bugging her. Evie advises her to stand her ground, but it does little to reassure her. They arrive at math class, where Winter is welcomed fondly by Mrs. Hawkins (she had switched her periods prior), but to the girls' dismay, Aiden joins their class as well and sits by them. He proves to be a nuisance throughout and bothers the girls, especially Winter, to the death with his antics. Eventually, Evie quiets him. After the day ends, Winter slinks through the crowds, attempting to escape, but Aiden traps her on a bench. She is rescued by Evie and Mya and walks home thereafter. When Winter summons Evie and Mya into her cabin for an emergency meeting, she expresses her hesitancy on telling Aiden that she is a lesbian and not attracted to him, fearing he will have the whole school on her.

The next day, Winter is unnerved and loses her focus in science, earning her a scolding from Mr. Gill. As she is walking the hallway behind Evie and Mya, Aiden pulls her against a wall and reveals that he loves her, much to her ire. Harshly rejecting him, she runs away, humiliated. When the day is over, all three girls meet inside the cabin to discuss Aiden, and Winter refuses to confess her sexuality to her stalker out of fear he will tell the entire school again. The girls, seeing her break down under pressure, pull back and take her on a snow day to cheer her up. However, it is interrupted by Aiden, who demands she be her girlfriend above anything else. Winter, finally realizing she has to confess, does so with the help of Evie and Mya, making Aiden break down under guilt and admit that he's struggling to fit in at school following his move away from Bellingham. The next day, the girls help him fit in more at school. Winter walks near the fence bordering the track field, reflecting on how things have gotten better, but her mood is quickly shattered by Daniela, who violently attacks her, threatens her, and sends her fleeing for her life.

#### *Ex-Girlfriend*

Winter runs away from Daniela and the school, fearing the school's bully is chasing after her. The next day, Mya shares her excitement about English class to Evie, as it is Write-About-It - a day where they can write freelance prompts of their choice - though Daniela is not as thrilled and openly expresses her displeasure over her prompt choice. Winter arrives late and displays noticably concerning behavior, some of it caused by Daniela, throughout the class period. At lunch, she runs late and further proves that she is acting erratic to her classmates. By the end of the day, Evie and Mya chase her out of school, attempting to get an explanation, but Winter refuses to tell the whole truth and soon walks back to her cabin. Later, when seeing how Winter is uneasy, Mya notes that she's acting just like she was at school the other day. Evie, sharing her thoughts, tells her that she hasn't been right since school. As she runs from Evie and Mya, Winter recalls her fears about them finding out her ex-girlfriend is Daniela, PMS' sadistic bully. When the girls find out the truth, they realize they should have seen it since the first day they walked to school with Winter.

#### *Dancing in the Dark*

Evie recalls Daniela, the school's bully, having a past relationship with Winter. Evie also notes that she took a walk with Winter after school recently. Later, at Geiger Heights, Opal warns Evie that she will punish her with the amount of work she does in school if she gets in trouble. After getting trapped in Cracklog Manor, Mya hears voices from her elementary and middle school years in her head.

#### *There's Something About Mya*

Mya notes that school went well with her and Evie spending time apart. When talking with Mya's parents, Evie discusses how she is doing in school.

#### *She's Plotting Something*

Evie and Mya enter PMS to find all is normal, though Rex is notably agitated in the office. However, things quickly go south when they find that Winter and Daniela are strangely absent, and despite asking their classmates and teachers for information regarding their whereabouts throughout the day, they never get clear, concise answers. Mya wonders what they'll do now, and Evie suggests searching Winter's cabin. The next day, the girls head into PMS with confidence, and at the end of the day, they rush into the office, requesting to speak with Rex. She pulls them into a private room, telling them of her secret relationship with Winter, and in turn, they tell her that Daniela has kidnapped Winter and that they need more information on where to look for them. Rex advises them to search a hideout that Daniela goes to near the outdoor trails huts, which they locate successfully, although they are captured and held prisoner by Daniela. Ultimately, Evie and Mya rescue Winter and Daniela is apprehended by a furious Rex.

#### *The Party*

Evie, Mya, and Winter attend the pep rally and learn of a party that will be held that Friday, leaving the girls and many other students excited. Unbeknownst to them, Daniela uses loopholes in the party invitation system to her advantage and plots to kill Winter for a second time. The next day, Evie and Mya walk to school and meet with Winter outside, soon walking in, awaiting lunch - where Rex will name the partygoers. At lunch, she does so, and each of the girls, along with a few of their friends, are named. Daniela, enraged that her mother didn't name her, confronts her in the office at the end of the day, shocking Evie and Mya, who stay behind and listen. The fight becomes vicious and horrific when Daniela forcibly blackmails Rex, threatening to expose her secret relationship with Winter to all of PMS through the intercom if she doesn't let her into the party. Petrified, Rex surrenders to her, stunning Evie and Mya. They attempt to warn Winter that Rex bent to Daniela's will and that she won't be safe at the party, but she refuses to listen to them and runs off. On Friday, the night of the party, Evie and Mya rush to the school, searching for Winter and Daniela, but they aren't located. They turn to the help of the STUCO leaders, Cecilia and Jamal, but when they prove to be of no assistance, they rely on their friends: Henry, Aiden, Evelin, and Sarah. However, they are too late, and minutes later, Daniela ambushes Winter in the middle of the cafeteria, shutting the whole party down.

#### *Winter Storm Arising*

Daniela and Winter exchange in a vicious battle of words that gradually turns more violent as it rages on, all while Winter's friends and the partygoers watch helplessly from the second floor of the cafeteria. Eventually, Daniela stabs Winter in the shoulder with her own knife and orders her to run away for the "crimes" she's committed, and obliging, she heads out the cafeteria exit doors. Evie and Mya, taking action, order Henry, Aiden, and the Rafiq sisters to evacuate the cafeteria while they face the more arduous task: stopping Daniela and rescuing Winter. Evie instructs Mya to save Winter and bring her back, facing the task of defeating Daniela and already knowing that her efforts to intervene won't be enough. They execute the plan, and with Evie and Daniela soon tangled in a furious fight, Mya runs out to find Winter. She swiftly locates her in the back of the school, near the dumpsters, and through a powerful speech, she convinces her to return to the cafeteria and fight her ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Daniela overpowers Evie in their fight and prepares to kill her with Winter's knife, but at that moment, Winter arrives, Mya by her side. She successfully resonates, exploding on Daniela in fury and defeating her; despite her last attempt to get back at her ex, Daniela is quickly arrested by police and dragged out of the school. With the feared bully gone, the crowd cherishes Winter and cheers her new nickname, Snowlight. A few days later, Winter notes that the school decided to start spring break early and that Rex resigned as school principal - Vice Principal Bluelund has been named as her temporary successor while the board works on finding a new principal.

### Season 2

#### *The New Principal*

Evie and Mya relax at Pinelake Park, enjoying the final Sunday of spring break before returning to middle school. Mya mentions that they get to see their new principal tomorrow, making Evie recall Rex, who was a good leader yet unable to control her own destructive daughter, Daniela. Together, they agree that whoever leads them next will be LGBTQ+ friendly before Evie returns home. The next day, Evie paces outside the entrance of Pineshadow middle school, finding herself surprised by Mya and Winter. They head inside, glancing at the empty principal's office and soon entering Mrs. Ikenna's English class. There, she reveals that they are on pep ralley schedule and immediately promises to get her students on work, surprising the three. Later, the school day goes by fast, and in Mr. Naecher's history class, an announcer calls for students to head into the cafeteria to see their new principal.

Evie, Mya, and Winter immediately head out, talking about the new principal as they enter the cafeteria and take their seats. From the stage, Vice Principal Bluelund excitedly welcomes Shetani, a red-headed and strong-bodied woman who comments that she's proud to be with them, promising for rules to be followed and revealing three new rules that were added to the system. She bans listening to music and snacks in class, but then bans same-sex relationships, shocking Evie, Mya, and Winter. Mya asks Evie if they're not allowed to be close in school anymore, and she responds that they'll have to manage. When Shetani is done speaking, Evie, Mya, and Winter rush out of Pineshadow middle school as fast as they can. They head to Pinelark Park to discuss the new rules, which they believe are unfair and silencing. Amira then joins them, and she is caught up on what happened at school.

#### *Stacking the Rules*

Evie and Mya are in art class listening to a lesson that Mr. Alann is teaching them. Suddenly, two voices argue outside, and they are revealed to be Shetani and deaf student Cassandra. They worry for her safety, even more so when Shetani promises new rules, something that makes Evie dread going to the remainder of her classes. Some time passes, and Evie and Mya, along with Winter, have taken their seats in Mr. Gill's science class. Out of nowhere, Shetani comes on the speaker and bans students from leaving the classroom at any point of the day, and Winter is disappointed when Mr. Gill seems indifferent on the new rule. Later, in history class, things seem to be well until Shetani comes on the speaker again, banning dyed hair. Everyone in the history classroom immediately stares at Winter, who is in stunned disbelief that what makes her special just got banned. Mr. Naecher agrees that this rule doesn't seem right, and Evie speaks up, rallying the class against the principal's new rules. Without warning, Shetani barges into the classroom, immediately demanding for Winter.

Mr. Naecher tries to persuade her that what she's doing is wrong, but Shetani dismisses him and drags Winter out, with the entire class watching in shocked silence. Mr. Naecher chooses to not teach his lesson on Nazi Germany, giving the class the rest of the day off, and Evie and Mya worry about Winter. When the school day ends, Evie and Mya glance into Shetani's office, noticing Winter isn't there. Upon exiting the school building, they find her outside, rubbing her cheek in irritation. She reveals that her time in the office was less than smooth sailing - she was dragged around, hit on the cheek, and had her hair regarded as a disgrace. She pauses, and when Evie inquires what happened, Winter shockingly says that Shetani uttered a homophobic slur behind her back. She worries that this is only the beginning of a hostile takeover of the school, which makes them all decide to pressure the principal into revoking her rules.

The next day, after the bell rings for the end of eighth period, Evie, Mya, and Winter confront Shetani in her office. After a fiery, rage-filled, and strong argument, Shetani drops her two new rules and apologizes for Winter for what she said, though refuses to revoke the LGBTQ+ relationships rule, ordering the three out. They dash out of Shetani's office, celebrating what they got reversed as a victory, unaware that Shetani is planning on making them bend to her will in a hardcore fashion. Evie, Mya, and Winter then encounter Cassandra by the field fence, and learned that she wasn't harmed after the argument earlier. Winter gives her a paper, which invites her to join a rebellion against Shetani, and she, Mya, and Evie then head home.

At Pinelake Park, Winter notes that it is finally a weekend away from school. When Amira joins her, she talks about Shetani's new rules and how they were revoked, and Amira promises to help in any way she can. The next day, Evie makes notes on what Shetani has banned at school.

#### *Unbroken Love*

Winter tells Mya that her mind has been distracted by school and Shetani. The next day, Mya finds Winter missing, horrified because it is a school day, and she grabs her things. After getting Evie, they search the Piney Woods for her, knowing they have to before they get to school. Luckily enough, they find her with Amira, sleeping in the woods. Mya notes that it's 8:25, plenty of time to spare, and they confront the two girls. Mya tells Winter to go home and get ready, and then tells Amira to get back to Shetani's house before it's too late. Winter tries to follow her girlfriend, but Evie stops her, saying that her school education matters more. In ELA class, Evie mutters that Winter won't make it, glancing over at Mrs. Ikenna. Suddenly, she does arrive, completely school-set, and she apologizes for being stubborn earlier. Later, Winter notes that her dreamy mind led to some incidents at school.

In the cafeteria, Evie and Mya try to get the attention of Winter, who is daydreaming. Later, it is noted that Winter has struggled to pay attention in her classes for the day.

She comes up with a plan to oust the principal, and explains it to Mya, Winter, and Amira, saying it will take action as they return the next day.

#### *Traitors!*

Evie, Mya, and Winter enter Pineshadow middle school, talking loud enough to force Shetani to come out of her office. They enter it as part of her plan, and she soon leaves after berating and denouncing them as traitors. With Vice Principal Bluelund's permission, they dig through her personal files and notetake, discovering many disturbing things. Before they can clean up, however, Shetani gets around Bluelund and exiles them all as traitors. They run out of the school building, and Evie dashes off.

Later, at the school, Evie explains what everyone must do, and she, Mya, Winter, Amira, Mrs. Hawkins, and Mr. Naecher head to the cafeteria. There, it is noted that the place is quiet and no one else is around. Shortly after the presentation is rigged, the cafeteria is now packed with seventh graders, and Shetani begins her assembly - shocked to find it has been hacked into. The students quickly side with Evie, Mya, Winter, and soon Amira, pelting various objects at her and chanting their agreement with everything against Shetani.

Winter has doubts that she'll survive her full year, but eventually convinces herself otherwise. Things in school become more complicated for her and Daniela, however, as they choose different clubs. They still sit together at lunch nonetheless. Daniela quickly grows troubled in PMS, much to Winter's confusion, and clingy when the day is over, only adding to her confusion. Eventually, one day at lunch, Daniela drags Winter to the bathrooms and confesses that she just misses her. To ease her worries, Winter proposes that they meet in the bathroom every Long Lunch, which her girlfirend agrees to. Daniela proceeds to baffle Winter again by asking her if she's come out to her father, but before she can give a proper response to her, the bell rings, and they rush back to the cafeteria. Winter catches up with Daniela after the school day is over, and both apologize to each other. Subsequently, they meet again in the bathrooms to be with each other every Long Lunch. Quickly, Daniela becomes troubled again, admitting to Winter one morning in the gym that she fears people will bully her for having glasses, though her flame doesn't think that's likely. Later, outside of school, Daniela and Winter meet up to discuss Thanksgiving break plans, but things become awkward when Daniela awkwardly suggests that Winter comes out to her father, and she rushes to her father's car. The next day, with Daniela's insistence, they meet in the bathrooms and work things out, later being dismissed from school for break.

#### *Only in a Waking Dream*

Winter dwells on (and passes by) PMS during the rest of her Thanksgiving break, which she spends growing accustomed to her new home. Upon returning to PMS, she engages in her "out of sight and out of mind" philosophy - shutting down and remaining as quiet as she can while safeguarding her private information and keeping out of the eye of others. She grows convinced that, at the school, she is living a full blown "waking dream," but this is challenged by exhaustion and a lack of resources. She soon pushes on, but a chance encounter with Rex sends her down into the office. She argues against the principal's idea of helping her, but later concedes, seeing that she is genuinely honest. In return, she is allowed to break some school regulations to benefit her cause.

#### *Talking of the Axes*

Winter begins to flourish in school, focusing on her *One of Us Is Lying* English project and preparations for finals. These objectives have a wrench thrown in them when Winter encounters Daniela unexpectedly outside PMS grounds and is violently harassed and threatened by her. Rattled to her core, Winter grows frightened, and in school, sees hallucionations and hears Daniela's voice when she is't there, or at worse, has direct confrontations with her. These come to a head, and eventually, Winter seeks out help from Rex. She calms her down, promising to deal with Daniela and that their breakup wasn't their fault, and urging her to blow off steam. After doing so, Winter regains her confidence and powers through the rest of the school year, returning her focus to exams and deflecting Daniela.

#### *The Foxes and the Hounds*

Winter enters Pineshadow Middle School for the last time in her sixth grade year, completing her last exams and escaping for the summer. She sometimes thinks about school over her summer, and soon reluctantly returns for her seventh grade year, unknowing of the horrors to come.

#### *Snowblind*

The seventh grade year begins at PMS, which goes smoothly for Winter. Soon, the school decorates for Halloween, and staff and students alike dress up in wacky outfits. Although Winter's school year is looking up (albeit with harassment from Daniela), things take a nosedive when Lars and his clique bully her with the name of Snowblind and inform the entire school of it, leading to her being widespread mocked and hated. It only gets worse when Daniela finds out about the full extent of it, causing Winter to fall into a deep depression only partially healed by her memories and their significance.

#### *Dance of a Thousand Eyes*

Winter mentions PMS a few times on the day she meets Evie and Mya, and although she doesn't reveal she attends the place at first to them, she eventually does after they reveal they are students there. On Monday, they walk to PMS together, but their morning goes awry when Daniela attacks. Winter, mortified, runs off and hides, and spends the next few days in school avoiding Evie and Mya. However, with encouragement, she switches her periods (in exchange for Daniela in two) to be with them and starts hanging out with them again. The next few days at school, she deals with Aiden's unrequited love of her, which pushes her to her limit. Soon, her company with Evie and Mya pays off, as she faces less harassment at PMS.

#### *Return of Snowlight*

Daniela kidnaps Winter, taking her to a small hideout near the school grounds and eventually luring Evie and Mya there as well; however, she is eventually defeated and dragged off by Rex. Later, PMS itself becomes safer to Winter, as Rex has given Daniela an extreme punishment for her attempts to murder her, which allows her to be an open book. Soon, she, Evie, and Mya attend the pep rally, excited for the upcoming party, and they are quick to make the invite list. However, Daniela also blackmails Rex into letting her in, and despite Evie and Mya's frantic attempts to warn Winter, she ignores them and heads to the party a few days later. There, she is ambushed by Daniela, torn open emotionally, and exposed as a fraud. After stabbing her in the shoulder, Daniela orders her to run away, and she obliges. Despite the damage she has dealt to Winter, with Mya's help, Winter sees that she must face her past and returns, defeating Daniela and amazing the crowd in the cafeteria. Days later, PMS has emptied early for spring break and to allow police investigation for evidence against Daniela. Rex has also resigned from principal.

### *Two-Sided*

#### *The Broken Pieces*

Following her breakup with Winter, Daniela's school life becomes miserable for her to deal with, as she is constantly battered and bullied. She tries to talk with Coach Samoski, who dismisses her claims, and Rex, who punishes the bullies yet can't guarantee they'll change. Her words become a reality, and Daniela's situation only gets worse, with her being harassed every day to the point where she now begins to suffer panic attacks after school.

#### *Good Girl Gone Bad*

Daniela walks smugly into the school building, ready to cause mayhem to those who have wronged her. After tormenting a bully in the hallway, she grows increasingly sadistic towards many students, being increasingly violent, cold, and apathetic toward them. When she torments a young girl, Rex drags her into her office, scolding her for her bad behavior. Despite her claims that she will be sent to another school, Daniela doesn't care, and instead causes a ruckus by loudly proclaiming that her mother is a slacker. In a fit of rage, Rex orders her out, to which Daniela obliges. However, she gives the middle finger to everyone, much to Rex's ire. In her computer class, Daniela causes a disruption by refusing to listen to Mrs. Limon, once again using the middle finger and making the teacher give up on trying to punish her. Daniela soon begins to bully Mya, often harrassing her in the hallway and even pinning her against a brick pillar, enjoying her pain. However, Evie stops her from doing any harm, allowing Rex to reprimand her. Despite this, Daniela continues to bully Mya, and cements her place as the most feared student in the middle school building.

#### *I Kick It*

Rex's frequent punishings of Daniela in her office do not change her behavior for the better. It is also noted that Daniela is now in seventh grade. Soon, she begins to torment Evie and Mya more at school, bickering with herself on who to pick on and trying to prevent them from doing Rex's errands. However, the first attempt fails when Evie reveals to Henry that she is Rex's daughter. He follows Daniela, introducing himself, but she slams him into the lockers and warns him to go away. Her second attempt also ends in disaster, as Mya stomps on her foot, humiliating her in front of Henry. Under the guise of using her mother's keys to unlock the library doors, Daniela locks Evie and Mya in a closet, and nearly gets away with it until Henry busts her in front of Rex.

#### *It's Murder*

Daniela sits on a bench outside school, noticing a girl who has appeared in English class with Evie and Mya, recognizing her as Winter. Soon after, she follows her home from school and finds out that she lives in a cabin. Later, Daniela plots to take Winter to her hangout near the school, which she does, but Rex finds out and drags her away before she can inflict any damage. Following that day, Daniela learns about the school's winter party at the pep ralley, and she is invited to attend, making her excited. She gets ready, and Rex escorts her to the cafeteria, where she shocks everyone by brutually ambushing Winter, getting at her emotionally and physically. She stabs her in the shoulder, considering herself victorious. However, she is defeated by Evie, Mya, and Winter, and is then arrested for attempted murder, taken out of the school building by police officers.

### *Little Miss Perfect*

Evie dashes out the door to her English class in middle school, followed by Mya. Suddenly, she discovers a group of football boys bullying Mya, and one threatens to show her stuff to the entire school, humiliating her. However, Evie drives the boys back, and heads to her next class after Mya accidentally embarrasses her. When the school bell rings in the afternoon, Evie walks out, holding her books and discovering that her ex-friend, Majken, also goes to Pineshadow middle. Later, Evie sees Daniela bully Mya and Benji, noting that she is the infamous school bully. Daniela comments that the two are lovebirds, wondering what would happen if the school knew of their "intimacy." Weeks later, Evie prepares to head back to school, but her mother overworks her, making her sleepy the next morning as a result. Her sluggish behavior ultimately makes many school students, including Daniela, humiliate her, and Mrs. Ikenna snaps at her to stay awake. While she recovers throughout the day, Daniela still chooses to pick on her on the way to history, though Mya causes her to slam into a brick pillar with her backpack. When Opal questions if Winter is real person, Evie is flabbergasted, believing that she should have seen her at school, which Anderson brings up in that moment. After walking to her house, Evie thinks that Mya is ready to school, and they head there together. By the time they reach the entrance, Mya holds Evie's hand, and they walk inside together. Later, Evie and Mya are at the school party, watching Daniela violently confront Winter.

After obtaining her knife, Daniela stabs Winter's shoulder and leaves her to die in front of the crowd. While Mya helps Winter, Evie engages in a showdown with Daniela on the bottom level of the cafeteria. She quickly gains the upper hand, but the bully apprehends her, preparing to slit her throat open. However, Winter comes to her rescue, and she defeats Daniela. Later, Evie enjoys the spring break away from school. Many weeks after, Evie thinks about her plan to bust Shetani - she, Mya, and Winter will sneak into Shetani's office at school, and gather information on her to protect the school from her wrath. Some days later, Evie looks through Shetani's notes in the school office with Mya and Winter, but she catches the trio and expells them, along with Vice Principal Bluelund. The girls dash out of the school building, and Evie runs away, too filled with guilt to stay. When the Heartleys discover her, Patrick inquires if she should be at school, and Nita replies that something happened there to get her this way. After Mya and Winter return home, Evie spits that she's a traitor to the entire school for her plan. Later, Evie goes home, and her mother demands why she is not at school, telling her she shouldn't be slacking off on her education. While reflecting on the cliff face, Evie recalls Shetani going on a rampage at the school.

### Specials

#### *Daniela Wrecks Christmas*

Evie and Mya attend PMS on the last day before winter break. Although they face a confrontation with Daniela, they evade her and generally have fun in the last two classes. Upon early dismissal, they again get into a fight with Daniela, but thanks to Mya spitting hot chocolate in her eye, they manage to escape. Later, Daniela's behavior at school is one of the reasons that Rex cites to her over why she isn't getting cookies or presents.
