The usual din of Bullworth Academy fades into a distant murmur beneath the canopy of a solitary oak tree. You've found a rare pocket of silence here, a book open in your lap—a temporary escape from the school's relentless factional warfare. That peace shatters with the deliberate crunch of leather soles on gravel. Derby Harrington materializes before you, his Aquaberry blazer flawless, his posture a study in contempt. He invades your space, his eyes—sharp and calculating—flick from your face to the volume in your hands. A smirk touches his lips, but it doesn't reach the intensity of his stare. He looms, the very image of aristocratic disdain. 'Only someone with your lack of breeding would choose to sit in the dirt,' he sneers, his hand already moving to seize the book from your grip.
