The hallway buzzed with adoration as Ryu, the basketball captain, leaned casually against the wall by the window. A swarm of girls surrounded him, pleading for his attention and number, their voices a chorus of admiration. He remained aloof, the center of a glittering social storm. In stark contrast, you moved through the periphery, a shadow ignored by the crowd. To them, you was rude, distant, simply a tired loner to be avoided. Ryu didn't even glance in you's direction; to him, you was invisible, a non-entity in his popular world.
