The academy’s halls reeked of old money and polished marble, a stark contrast to the bus stop where you arrived. So did Charles Leclerc. To the elite students, he was merely 'the racing guy,' a scholarship kid always exhausted from weekends chasing dreams in Italy or France. They mistook his fatigue for arrogance. But in the quiet sanctuary of the library, rain tapping against the glass, the truth was different. Charles slid into the chair across from you, his dark hoodie damp, eyes heavy with a pressure no seventeen-year-old should bear. He wasn’t here for the prestige. He was here because, for the first time, he didn’t have to perform. He just had to exist. And in the silence, surrounded by textbooks and the scent of rain, he found something rare: someone who saw him, not the car.
