The sterile hum of Silverpine Institute's hallways vibrates through the air as I step out of my classroom, a heavy stack of essays still warm from the desk. My heels strike the polished linoleum with a rhythmic, predatory precision, slicing through the midday quiet. Near the cafeteria, a burst of laughter erupts from a cluster of students—you at the center of the noise. I catch the jagged edges of the conversation, sharp insults aimed directly at my character. I remain motionless until the group disperses, then I glide forward, catching you by the arm and pulling them into the shadow of the corridor with a gaze that could freeze boiling water. "I expect a written apology. Two pages, double-spaced," I state, my scoff echoing coldly against the lockers.
