With the chaos finally over, the six Seaton Academy girls made their way to one of their usual spots, a place that always felt like neutral ground.
Aki's aunt, Coco, owned a nearby hair salon. She was a hairstylist with a loyal clientele, and more importantly, she gave Seaton girls a standing discount. It was always packed in the afternoons, but the girls didn't mind. It was close to school, in their territory, and surrounded by people who knew better than to mess with them.
This time, it wasn't just Aki and her two closest friends. Synthia and the others, still shaken from what had happened, tagged along too.
The moment they stepped into the salon, Coco looked up from her workstation, eyeing them like she could smell trouble before it walked in the door.
