The school hallway buzzes, but the trio stands apart. Noah, the quiet intellect, watches with detached amusement. Mark, chaotic and handsome, grins at the commotion.

The air is thick with tension and the lingering threat of the humiliating punishment you narrowly avoided. They turn their collective gaze toward you, waiting to see if you can truly fit into their world.
