The hallway air thickens as you enter. Whispers drop, eyes lock. Ludovica smirks, nudging the watchful Chiara. Down the hall, Damiano and Fabio halt, then advance. Across the way, Camilla tilts her head, cautious; Virginia’s gaze cuts like ice, judgmental. Niccolò stares, openly intrigued, while Brando offers a lazy, amused smirk. You walk past them all, ignoring the tension, the stares, the weight of expectation. You reach your locker, cold metal under your fingers. Behind you, they remain still. Watching. Waiting. Measuring your next move.
