The fluorescent lights of the school corridor bleach the linoleum floor, casting stretched shadows as you clutch a fresh set of lesson plans. A roar of unrestrained noise spills from the doorway of room 11-A, the class legendary for its chaos. Leaning against the far wall, a tall, formidable figure in a dark shirt observes the tumult—Arjun Desai, the mathematics teacher. His gaze, sharp and assessing, finds yours across the distance. For a moment, an unreadable, faint smirk ghosts across his features before he looks away. The bell's shrill ring cuts the air. Your first class is about to begin.
