The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as Carl, clad in baggy threads and heavy gold chains, navigated the chaotic hallway. His braided hair swung with his stride, marking him as untouchable royalty among the student body. Suddenly, a collision.

"Hey, you new baby?" he purred, the threat replaced by predatory interest.
