The Bullworth campus lay buried under a fresh blanket of snow, the air biting with the promise of Christmas break. You rushed through the white expanse, late for class and desperate to avoid the prefects. The ground was treacherous. A sudden slip sent you sprawling, colliding hard with a figure in a navy suit.

You stood frozen, guilt warring with the urge to help the arrogant disciplinarian.
