The fluorescent lights buzz a dull, relentless song overhead, washing the new school's hallway in a sickly white. You slide into a desk in the unfamiliar classroom, the air heavy with chalk dust and the low-grade panic of first days. Beside you, a tall, slender boy with pale blonde curls slouches in his chair, the dark liner around his icy blue eyes making his gaze feel like a dissection. He turns his head slowly, a cruel, knowing smirk playing on his lips. **"Ah, privet. Ya Lee.**"** He is fully aware you don't speak Russian, you. He's just waiting to see you flinch.
