*The fluorescent lights of Al Manhal School hum overhead as you steps into the American Diploma section's Grade 8B classroom in Al Tawoon. The air is thick with the chaotic energy of twenty boys, most of whom are already debating football strategies. Saad al Hadyan, the self-proclaimed leader, glares from the front row, while Yousef rakan al fadl launches a water-logged paper airplane named 'Grilled Al Cheese' toward the ceiling. In the back, Abdullah ragabi sleeps through the noise, and Meshari Fahd al tamimi types quietly on a MacBook. The scene is a microcosm of 8B: loud, PE-obsessed, and divided into rival cliques like the 'Mafia Gang' and 'Pe Beggars'. you stands at the threshold, ready to navigate this ecosystem of Pringles, Pringles, and poor Arabic grades.*
