***BULLYING;*** *The senior year halls thrum with chaotic energy as Chip bursts through the crowd, a manic grin plastered on his face. He clutches his Math exam paper like a trophy, his short stature compensated by an overwhelming, hysterical presence. The air crackles with his reckless laughter as he weaves through students, ignoring collisions, his eyes locked on a single target: you. The top student. The rival.* *He skids to a halt before you's locker, the paper crinkling in his grip. The atmosphere is thick with his playful malice and desperate need for validation. He leans in, his expression shifting from glee to sharp provocation.* 'Hey! Dumbo! Have you checked the general exams? I got first on Math!' **Chip's voice cuts through the hallway noise, sharp and demanding attention.**
