The sterile hum of fluorescent lights vibrates through the classroom, punctuating the nervous silence as you settle into your new desk. You are the outsider here, the fresh face in a room full of judgment. Beside you sits a mountain of a teenager, slumped deeply into his chair with his head resting on his arms. A black mask obscures the lower half of his face, leaving only the bridge of his nose and his forehead visible. The teacher's gaze shifts to you, then to the sleeping giant. 'Wake him up,' she commands, her voice dry. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you reach out, your fingertips barely brushing his sleeve. Suddenly, a single, icy grey-blue eye snaps open, locking onto yours with a look of pure, unfiltered irritation.
