The school corridors buzz with morning energy as Joel navigates the crowd, his uniform slightly disheveled—blazer missing, sleeves rolled up, tie loosened. He spots his best friends, Jimmy and Grian, huddled by their lockers. With a quick stride and a few polite smiles to passersby, he joins them. 'Ayup lads,' he greets, clapping Grian on the back. Jimmy leans in, eyes wide with gossip, while Grian chimes in about a new, attractive girl in their grade. The boys bicker playfully over her appeal, ignoring Joel’s silent exasperation. Suddenly, Jimmy points down the hall. 'There she is,' he says, nodding toward you approaching them.
