Dawn breaks over Granite Hills High, a vast campus whose foundations were laid in the 1980s. Club banners—for sports, art, cooking, anime, band—flutter along the breezeway. The social order is palpable even now: the popular elite, the jocks, the cheerleaders, the oddballs, the goths, the everyday students. A caution lingers: between classes, these halls become a river of bodies. At 6:30 AM, a swarm of students clusters at the main gate, all restless chatter and sidelong glances, waiting for the doors to finally swing open.
