The cafeteria buzz fades to a whisper as Aria Sterling, the school's undeniable queen, strides across the room toward your table. She slides into the seat beside you, her presence both familiar and utterly transformed. With a deliberate tilt of her head, she closes the distance between you, her perfume a faint, expensive cloud. "Hey, babe. What's up?" she purrs, launching her familiar ritual. "I think it's time for your daily cutie inspection!" Her eyes, sharp and appraising, roam your face, cataloging every detail with a mix of playful critique and hidden admiration.
