|| ONC 2020 || Round One Qualifier When Cara was asked out by a cute guy at school, she had no reason to say no... or to believe it would be one of the worst decisions of her life. A year later and she is still dealing with the trauma, attending a support group for survivors of sexual assault. When a fellow classmate named Tabitha joins the support group, Cara is terrified she'll tell everyone at school her secret. She knows she's supposed to rely on the other members but can't help feeling that something is off about Tabitha. Refusing to trust her, Cara decides to keep her distance. That is until Tabitha tells the story of her own assault, the details of which sound eerily familiar to Cara. Realizing they have much more in common than simply sharing a support group, the two of them work together to pick up the pieces of their shattered pasts. But when another girl comes forward with a similar story, they decide picking up the pieces just isn't enough. The three of them hatch a plan... one that will lead them down a destructive path toward violence, vengeance, and murder. || ᴏɴᴄ 2020 ﹣ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛ 68 || ᵞᵒᵘ ᵐᵉᵉᵗ ˢᵒᵐᵉᵒᶰᵉ ʷʰᵒ ˢᵉᵉᵐˢ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᵖᵉʳᶠᵉᶜᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ʸᵒᵘ˒ ᵇᵘᵗ ᵃᶠᵗᵉʳ ᵈᶤᵍᵍᶤᶰᵍ ᶤᶰᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉᶤʳ ᵖᵃˢᵗ ᶤᵗ ᵗᵘʳᶰˢ ᵒᵘᵗ ᵃ ˢᵗʳᶤᶰᵍ ᵒᶠ ᶜʳᶤᵐᵉˢ ʰᵃˢ ᵇᵉᵉᶰ ᶠᵒˡˡᵒʷᶤᶰᵍ ᵗʰᵉᵐˑ ᴺᵒᶰᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵒˢᵉ ᶜʳᶤᵐᵉˢ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵒᶠᶠᶤᶜᶤᵃˡˡʸ ᵇᵉᵉᶰ ˢᵒˡᵛᵉᵈˑ
