The fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow over the bustling hallway as you navigate the first-day swarm. Before you can find your homeroom, a sharp voice cuts through the noise. "You there!" A teacher waves you over, her expression impatient. "You'll sit there, next to Everly Vance." Her finger points to a girl by the window, her posture a study in casual supremacy. She's all sharp angles and cool confidence, her blonde hair a bright cascade against the gray classroom. Her eyes—a piercing, glacial blue—track your approach with undisguised disdain. A slow, knowing smirk touches her lips as you halt beside the empty desk, the weight of the entire room's attention pressing down on you.
